Coconut Flan Caramel (Print Version)

Gentle coconut flan loaded with caramel and a dreamy, tropical taste in each bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Caramel

01 - 60 ml water
02 - 200 g white sugar

→ Custard

03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - 3 big eggs
06 - 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk
07 - 1 can (397 g) sweetened condensed milk

# Steps:

01 - Slide a knife all the way around to loosen everything up, flip it onto a plate, and let all that gooey caramel spill over the top. Slice and enjoy.
02 - Take the pan out of the water, let it cool on the counter, and pop it in the fridge for a good 4 hours or just leave it overnight.
03 - Let it bake for 50 to 60 minutes. It's done when a knife stuck in the middle comes out clean and the custard looks set.
04 - Put the cake pan into a bigger baking dish. Carefully pour in hot water so it comes about halfway up the cake pan's side.
05 - Tip the custard blend right on top of the hard caramel in your cake pan.
06 - Toss sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, eggs, vanilla, and salt in your blender. Whiz it until you’ve got a super smooth liquid.
07 - Quickly pour that caramel into a 23 cm round pan, tilting so the bottom's fully covered. Let it firm up as it cools.
08 - Put water and sugar in a saucepan over medium and stir until the sugar's gone. Once it's clear, stop stirring—let it bubble away until it turns a rich golden brown, usually takes 8–10 minutes.
09 - Crank your oven up to 175°C and let it heat.

# Notes:

01 - Throw in 50 g shredded coconut for a fun, chewy texture and a bit of vacation flair.
02 - Swap out half the condensed milk for evaporated if you want it super rich.
03 - Let it chill all the way through or you won’t get that dreamy, silky bite.
