This is an Ecuadorian recipe and it is called Queso de Coco which translates as Coconut Cheese but since I moved to USA, I just call it Coconut Flan.

Time 2h20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 c sugar for the syrup
3 large eggs, beaten
1 (14 oz) can(s) sweetened condensed milk
3/4 c flaked sweetened coconut
2 1/4 c whole milk or evaporated milk
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground allspice

Add 1/2 cup water and let it cook at medium temperature until the liquid has a syrupy consistency. It will be very hot. Pour it into a medium-size baking dish and cover the bottom and sides of the pan.
  • 2. Blend the milk with the coconut for 10 seconds or so. Pour this mixture in a bowl and add the beaten eggs. Mix well and add the remaining ingredients stirring well. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in a double boiler at 350F for 45 minutes to 1 hour. It will be ready when the top of the dessert looks golden brown and when a skewer inserted in the center of the flan, comes out clean. Let it cool down. Store in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight. To unmold: Microwave the flan in the baking dish for 2 minutes and turn over a platter. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Enjoy!

1 (10 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (15 ounce) can cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez®)

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.
