Default Coconut Flan

Coconut Flan

In many of the restaurants you will find a good local Mariachi band
playing into the night. It is fun to sit back and have a nice dessert
and wait for your turn to be sung to. Tip well.

Makes 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients:

1 cup granulated sugar
6 eggs
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 can (14 ounces) coconut milk
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 shot of rum or brandy

Preparation:

To caramelize the pan:

Pour the sugar into a square or round flan mold or cake pan about 6
inches in diameter and 3 inches deep, and cook over low heat,
agitating constantly to prevent scorching. Be very careful as melting
sugar can burn you badly. When the sugar begins to bubble, remove the
pan from the heat and turn it so the caramel glaze covers the bottom
of the mold evenly. Set aside to cool.

To prepare the custard:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly beat the eggs, then continue to beat the mixture as the
remaining ingredients are added. Beat until well blended. Pour the
mixture through a strainer into the prepared mold. Place the mold into
a larger pan filled with 1/2 to 1 inch of hot water, so that the water
comes about half way up the side of the mold.

Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center
comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the mold to cool on a
rack. To un-mold, dip the mold in warm water for just a few moments
before inverting it onto a serving platter.
