Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
½ cup water (and if possible, a few drops of lemon/lime juice to avoid crystallization)
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
14 oz canned coconut milk
5 eggs (at room temperature)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C).
  • In a nonstick medium skillet or saucepan, stir together sugar, water, and a few drops of lemon/ medium and cook over medium heat until sugar is melted and turns into an amber color (about 8-10 minutes). Make sure to not stir or disturb the mixture while cooking! Pour into an 8-inch round pan, quickly swirl the caramel around the bottom and sides of the pan to coat, and let sit for at least 3-5 minutes or until hardened.
  • In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth (and there are no visible traces of eggs), about 30-60 seconds. Pour the mixture into the pan.
  • Prepare the bain-marie (water bath) by placing the flan pan into a 13×9-inch baking pan. Fill the outer pan with boiling water to halfway up the flan pan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the coconut flan is set and slightly jiggly. Transfer the flan pan to a wire rack for about 30 minutes. Then, place in the fridge for at least 4 hours or until the flan is chilled.
  • To unmold, warm the bottom of the pan on a warm water bath for about 3-5 minutes and gently run a paring knife around the edges of the pan. Place a large plate over the pan and invert while holding tightly to unmold the flan.
  • Top with coconut flakes for garnish. Chill until serving time!

COCONUT FLAN



Coconut Flan image

A Classic Dessert with a Caribbean Twist Coconut Flan derives its delectability from the classic Latin dessert and adds a unique Caribbean twist-to a coconut lover's delight! This Coconut Flan recipe features the fruit twice-first, with splashes of GOYA® Coconut Milk and, again, with smooth GOYA® Cream of Coconut. Our Coconut Flan is so cool and silky, you'll think you're in the tropics.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 cup GOYA® Cream of Coconut
1 cup GOYA® Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 can (13.5 oz.) GOYA® Coconut Milk
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
raspberries (optional)
mint (optional)

Steps:

  • Step 1 Heat oven to 325°F. In a small, heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, bring sugar and ½ cup water to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Using a wet pastry brush, wipe off any sugar that sticks to the sides of the pan. Cook, without stirring, swirling the pan, until the syrup turns golden brown, about 10 minutes. Carefully pour the hot caramel into eight 4 oz. ramekins; set aside to cool. Step 2 In a large bowl, using a whisk, beat the eggs until completely combined. Whisk in the cream of coconut, condensed milk, coconut milk and vanilla until smooth. Divide the egg mixture evenly among ramekins. Step 3 Place ramekins in a shallow baking dish and place in the middle rack of the oven. Pour in enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins; cover with aluminum foil. Bake until the Flan is set but still wiggly in the center, 1 hour - 1 hour 15 minutes. Using tongs, carefully remove the ramekins from the water. Transfer to refrigerator to cool completely. Step 4 When ready to serve, gently run butter knife around edges and invert onto serving plates. Garnish with raspberries and mint leaves, if desired. More Cooking Tips

Time 3h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup whole milk
1 cup coconut milk
½ (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 6 (4-ounce) ramekins.
  • Slowly melt sugar in a large skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until browned but not scorched, about 8 minutes. Divide caramel equally among the ramekins and allow to cool.
  • Combine whole milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until it begins to steam, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk 3 eggs together in a bowl; slowly pour beaten eggs into the warm milk mixture, whisking constantly until the custard is combined.
  • Place ramekins in a casserole dish and fill with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Divide custard evenly among ramekins, over the caramel sauce, about 1/2 inch from the top. Cover casserole dish tightly with foil. Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set, about 1 hour. A knife gently inserted into the center of a flan should come out clean.
  • Remove ramekins from the water bath and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving to chill completely. Run the tip of a paring knife around the edges to release the flan. Place a plate over the top of the ramekin and flip to release the flan onto the plate, caramel side up.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
5 large eggs
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 can unsweetened coconut milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Hot water, for water bath
Berries, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Place sugar in a small saucepan and gently add the water and lemon juice. Do not stir. Bring the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat, without stirring, until the mixture turns golden brown. Divide the caramel among 4 ramekins, filling them 1/4 of the way up.
  • Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until combined. Pour the custard into the ramekins on top of the caramel.
  • Place the ramekins in a large roasting pan or baking dish and carefully pour hot water into the pan around them, 1/2 way up their sides, to make a water bath.
  • Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes until the flan starts to wiggle in the ramekins when gently shaken. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and chill them in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
  • Run knife around the edge of the ramekins. Invert on a plate and garnish with berries.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality coconut milk: Opt for full-fat coconut milk for a rich and creamy flan. It should contain at least 80% coconut.
  • Simmer the coconut milk: Simmering the coconut milk with sugar and spices enhances the flavor and gives the flan a smooth texture.
  • Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs provide a better flavor and texture than older eggs.
  • Strain the custard: Straining the custard ensures a smooth and silky texture by removing any lumps or impurities.
  • Cover the flan tightly: Cover the flan tightly with plastic wrap or foil to prevent a skin from forming on the surface.
  • Chill the flan thoroughly: Chill the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture.
  • Serve chilled: Serve the flan chilled for a refreshing and creamy dessert.
