Chamorro Coconut Flan

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns into a golden caramel.
  2. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert it onto a serving plate. The caramel will create a luscious sauce for the flan.
