Coconut Caramel Flan

Notes: If your can of coconut milk is shy of the 2 cups needed, you can add some whole milk to make the two full cups. Do not use sweetened coconut milk for this dish.

Put all custard ingredients into a blender and give them a whirl for 30 seconds.

For the caramel, heat sugar in a small pan on medium heat until the sugar starts to become amber in color.

Pour the caramel into your custard cups or flan dish. Then pour the custard mixture into the custard cups.

Next put the custard cups in a large oven pan that you can use to create a water bath. Pour boiling water carefully into the oven pan around the custard cups. Be careful not to get water into the custard cups.

Let the flan steam in the oven for 55-60 minutes at 325ºF. Allow to chill for 2 hours. Then take a knife and slide it around the edge of the custard cup to loosen the custard from the cup. Turn the custard cup over onto a plate and serve.

I toasted some sweet coconut to garnish the flan. Enjoy.
