Coconut Flan

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

2. 2

   In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the sugar until it caramelizes.

3. 3

   Pour it into a flan dish, pie plate or round souffle baking dish with shallow sides, swirling it around to coat the bottom.

4. 4

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until foamy with a wire whisk.

5. 5

   Beat in the condensed milk, coconut milk, vanilla extract and 1/4 cup coconut.

6. 6

   Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

7. 7

   It will need to bake in a water-bath in the oven.

8. 8

   Set the dish into a large baking pan with sides and carefully pour water around the flan to come 2/3 the way up the sides.

9. 9

   Carefully transfer to the preheated oven.

10. 10

    Bake for about 1 hour, until the flan is set and the center only jiggles a little bit, like a cheesecake would.

    Remove from the oven and water-bath and allow to cool completely.

12. 12

    Turn the flan out onto a flat serving platter.
