Coconut Milk Flan
A great stand-by dessert I always keep a few tins of these tinned ingredients in the cupboard then as long as I have some eggs, I am good to go.
Ingredients
Serves: 12
- 6 eggs
- 1 (400g) tin sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (375g) tin evaporated milk
- 1 (400g) tin coconut milk
- 1 1/2 cups (375ml) whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 cup (220g) white sugar
Directions
Preparation:20min ›
Cook:1hour ›
Extra time:4hours chilling ›
Ready in:5hours20min
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees C.
- Place the sugar in a non-stick frypan and slowly melt over low heat without stirring. Shake the frypan by its handle to mix but do not stir with a spoon. When the sugar has melted, pour into a 3 litre glass baking dish coating the bottom.
- In a large bowl beat the eggs with an electric mixer until smooth. Pour in the condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut milk, whole milk and vanilla then mix until well blended; about 2 minutes.
- Pour the egg mixture over the sugar in the dish. Place the dish inside of a larger dish then set in the oven. Fill the outer dish with water to 3cm deep.
- Bake for 1 hour in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove the flan from the water bath and refrigerate until cold; 4 hours to overnight.
- To serve run a knife around the edges of the dish to loosen the flan then invert onto a serving dish.

I made this recipe twice, the first time as written and I could barley taste the coconut. So the next time I made it I used 2 1/2 tsp. coconut extract & 1/2 tsp. of vanilla and it was much better - the coconut taste is perfect. I made it for a party of 20 and everyone said it was PERFECT. It takes 1 hr. & 20 minutes to cook if you use 1 large dish. Easy to make and definately a keeper! - 30 Apr 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
suggestion: I made another flan recipe and added cream of coconut (sweeter and creamier than coconut milk)+ low fat sweetened condensed milk + 2 eggs + 4 egg whites + 2tsps vanilla extract - 14 Sep 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
This flan turned out very well. I followed the recipe exactly except I add 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. I think the almond extract enhanced the coconut taste and made it delicious. - 10 Jun 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
