Rum-infused Coconut Flan
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (13.5 ounces) of coconut milk
- 5 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of dark rum
- 1/2 cup of shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color, about 10 minutes. Immediately pour the caramel into an 8-inch round cake pan, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a blender, combine 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, 1 can of coconut milk, 5 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of dark rum. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded coconut over the top.
- Place the cake pan in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
- Carefully transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the flan. Place a serving platter over the top of the pan and quickly invert to release the flan onto the platter. Slice and enjoy!
