Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 can (13.5 ounces) coconut milk
  • 1 can (14 ounces) condensed milk

Equipment

  • 6 ramekins

Instructions

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine sugar and water. Stir well until sugar is completely dissolved. Microwave on high for about 6 to 7 minutes or until color changes to honey-gold.
  • Immediately pour caramel into the 6 ramekins, swirling to fully cover the bottom.
  • In a medium bowl, combine eggs, coconut milk, and condensed milk. Gently stir in a circular motion until blended.
  • With a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve, strain egg-milk mixture. Pour strained mixture into prepared ramekins.
  • Cover ramekins with foil and arrange in a wide, oven-safe dish with about 1-inch of water (water bath).
  • Bake in a 375 F oven for about 40 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of custard comes out clean.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool, and refrigerate to completely set.
  • To serve, turn flan over on a serving plate, ending with caramel on top.
