Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Caramel:

    • In a heavy saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat.
    • Swirl the pan gently until the sugar dissolves.
    • Allow the mixture to simmer, without stirring, until it turns into a deep amber caramel color.
    • Quickly pour the caramel into a round baking dish (9-inch diameter), swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
    • Set aside to cool and harden.

  2. Preheat and Prepare:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Place a larger baking dish or roasting pan into the oven, creating a water bath for baking the flan.

  3. Mix the Flan Mixture:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Gently stir in the shredded coconut.

  4. Assemble and Bake:

    • Pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
    • Carefully place the filled baking dish into the preheated water bath in the oven.
    • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

  5. Chill and Serve:

    • Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
    • Refrigerate the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill and set completely.
    • To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate.
