Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar

1/4 cup water

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 12 oz can evaporated milk

1 cup coconut milk

5 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup shredded coconut

1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch round cake pan.

Step 2: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then stop stirring and let it cook until the sugar turns a deep amber color.

Step 3: Carefully pour the caramel into the cake pan, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom.

Step 4: In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract, shredded coconut, and salt until smooth.

Step 5: Pour the custard mixture over the caramel in the cake pan.

Step 6: Place the cake pan in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan.

Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8: Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 9: To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a serving plate, and gently lift the pan away.
