Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup coconut milk (full-fat)
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the Caramel Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar and water. Stir until sugar dissolves, then simmer without stirring until it turns golden brown.
- Coat Your Baking Dish: Quickly pour the caramel into a baking dish, tilting to coat evenly before it hardens.
- Mix the Custard Base: In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Slowly pour the custard over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
- Bake in Water Bath: Place the baking dish in a larger pan filled with hot water. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
- Cool and Serve: Allow to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for several hours. When ready to serve, invert onto a plate to let caramel flow over the flan.
