COCONUT FLAN OR QUESO DE COCO
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.

Steps:
- 1. Pour the sugar in a small saucepan and melt it at low temperature until it dissolves and gets a nice brown color. Check it often or it gets burned. 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!
