Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
- Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and flip the flan out onto a serving platter. Spoon any caramel remaining in the baking dish over the flan.

Tips:
- Use high-quality coconut milk. This will ensure that your flan has a rich, creamy flavor. Look for unsweetened coconut milk in cans or cartons.
- Don't overcook the flan. Otherwise, it will become rubbery. The flan is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
- Serve the flan with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include fresh fruit, whipped cream, and caramel sauce.
