Coconut Milk Flan

Ingredients

• 0.75 cups white sugar
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 cup coconut milk
• ½ , 12 fluid ounce
• ½ , 14 ounce
• 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 eggs

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 6 (4-ounce) ramekins.

2. 2

   Slowly melt sugar in a large skillet over low heat, stirring constantly, until browned but not scorched, about 8 minutes. Divide caramel equally among the ramekins and allow to cool.

3. 3

   Combine whole milk, coconut milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until it begins to steam, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Whisk 3 eggs together in a bowl; slowly pour beaten eggs into the warm milk mixture, whisking constantly until the custard is combined.

5. 5

   Place ramekins in a casserole dish and fill with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Divide custard evenly among ramekins, over the caramel sauce, about 1/2 inch from the top. Cover casserole dish tightly with foil. Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set, about 1 hour. A knife gently inserted into the center of a flan should come out clean.

6. 6

   Remove ramekins from the water bath and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours before serving to chill completely. Run the tip of a paring knife around the edges to release the flan. Place a plate over the top of the ramekin and flip to release the flan onto the plate, caramel side up.
