Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Flan Dessert.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
While that warms up, grab a small saucepan and pour in 1 cup of sugar.
Step 3
Place it over medium heat and let the magic happenâwatch as the sugar melts into a beautiful golden brown caramel.
Step 4
Resist the urge to stir; instead, gently shake the pan from time to time to help it along.
Step 5
Once it reaches that perfect caramel color, carefully pour it into a large glass baking dish, tilting the dish to spread the caramel evenly across the bottom.
Step 6
Set it aside for about 15 minutes to cool and harden into a delightful layer of sweetness.
Step 7
Next, itâs time to create the creamy filling.
Step 8
In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, regular milk, shredded coconut, and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar.
Step 9
Blend everything together until the mixture is smooth and velvety, which should take around 3 minutes.
Step 10
Pour this luscious blend over the hardened caramel in your baking dish, letting it settle in nicely.
Step 11
Now, pop the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 45 minutes.
Step 12
Youâll know itâs ready when the custard is set and has a lovely jiggle.
Step 13
Once itâs done, take it out and let the flan cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
Step 14
To make sure it comes out easily, run a knife around the edges of the dish to loosen it up.
Step 15
For the best results, refrigerate the flan until itâs completely chilledâideally for 8 hours or even overnight if you can wait that long.
Step 16
When youâre ready to serve, carefully invert the flan onto a rimmed serving plate.
Step 17
Watch as the caramel sauce cascades over the top, creating a stunning presentation thatâs sure to impress.
Step 18
Enjoy every creamy, caramel-infused bite of this delightful dessert!.
