Time 3h10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups milk
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup coconut cream
1 cup toasted coconut, recipe follows, or store bought toasted coconut
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoon lemon juice
6 eggs
3 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Combine milk, coconut milk, and coconut cream in a saucepan. Stir, bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer for 15 minutes until slightly reduced. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Add toasted coconut and infuse for 15 minutes.
  • To make the caramel: combine the sugar, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepot and cook over high heat, without stirring, until it darkens to amber. Pour the caramel evenly into 6 (4-ounce) ramekins and set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and the yolks. Strain the milk mixture into the eggs and whisk to combine. Fill each ramekin with this mixture, then place ramekin in roasting pan. Create a water bath by filling the roasting pan 1/3 way with hot water, and cook, covered with foil, for 25 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
  • To unmold the flan: take a paring knife and run it around the sides of the ramekin to loosen the flan. To help it along, you may also place the ramekin in a shallow bowl with warm water until it comes halfway up the sides for a few seconds. Invert a serving plate on top of the ramekin and flip over to unmold.

I had some trouble getting the flan to set properly. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if it was just a bad batch of eggs.

This flan was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this flan. The coconut flavor is subtle and not overpowering. I would definitely make it again.

I was a bit skeptical about the toasted coconut, but I'm so glad I tried it! It adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the flan. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not usually a fan of flan, but this toasted coconut version is a game changer! The coconut adds a lovely tropical twist that makes it irresistible. I served it with fresh berries and whipped cream, and it was a huge hit with my family.

This toasted coconut flan was absolutely divine! The texture was smooth and creamy, with a rich coconut flavor that was perfectly balanced by the caramel sauce. I'll definitely be making this again for my next dinner party.
