This flan was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still pretty good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the chocolate perfectly. The texture was also spot-on.

This flan was just okay. The texture was a bit too dense for my taste, and the flavors were a bit bland. I think I'll stick to my old flan recipe next time.

I made this chocolate coconut flan for a party last weekend and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. I especially liked the contrast between the rich chocolate and the light and fluffy coconut. It was the perfect dessert.
