Description

Puerto Rican Coconut Flan is a traditional dessert in Puerto Rico. This creamy and decadent dessert is made with coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract. The flan is baked in a water bath until it is set, and then it is chilled until it is ready to be served. The dessert is topped with a caramel sauce that adds a sweet and slightly bitter flavor to the dish.

Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe is approximately 10 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe is approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 can of coconut milk (13.5 ounces)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • 9-inch cake pan
  • Baking dish that is larger than the cake pan
  • Whisk or blender
  • Saucepan

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Place the sugar in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until it melts and turns golden brown. Pour the caramel into the cake pan and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides of the pan.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the cake pan over the caramel.
  5. Place the cake pan in the baking dish and fill the baking dish with water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
  6. Bake for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the flan is set. You can check the flan by inserting a knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the flan is ready to be removed from the oven.
  7. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  8. Once cooled, place the flan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  9. When you are ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the pan. Invert the flan onto a platter, and serve with the caramel sauce on top.

Notes

  • You can use a blender to mix the ingredients for a smoother consistency.
  • If the caramel hardens too quickly, you can place the saucepan back over low heat to melt it again.
  • The water bath is important to ensure even cooking and prevent the flan from cracking.
