Let stand for 10 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat milk until bubbles form around sides of saucepan. Remove from the heat. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt and remaining sugar. Stir 1 cup warm milk into egg mixture; return all to pan and mix well. Add extracts. Slowly pour into prepared dishes., Place ramekins in a baking pan; add 1 in. of boiling water to pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 30-35 minutes or until centers are just set (mixture will jiggle). Remove ramekins from water bath; cool for 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least four hours., Carefully, run a knife around edge of dishes to loosen; invert each dish onto a rimmed serving dish. , In a microwave, melt chocolate; stir until smooth. Drizzle over flans. Sprinkle with almonds and coconut. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my flans turned out really dense and rubbery.

These flans are a bit too expensive to make for everyday dessert, but they're definitely worth it for a special occasion.

I had some trouble getting the flans to set. I think I might have overcooked them.

These flans are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these flans. The almond flavor really balances out the coconut.
