Description

Coconut Caramel Flan is a creamy, tropical twist on the classic caramel custard dessert, made with rich coconut condensed milk and soy milk for a smooth and luscious texture. This dairy-free flan features a delicate caramel sauce base, baked in a water bath to achieve the perfect custard consistency, then chilled overnight for an irresistible treat with a hint of coconut flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Caramel Sauce

  • 2 tbsp caramel sauce

For the Flan Custard

  • 1 can coconut condensed milk (490 g, at room temperature)
  • Soy milk, equal measure to the condensed milk can (approximately 490 ml, at room temperature)
  • 6 eggs (at room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (180 C) to prepare for baking the flan.
  2. Prepare Caramel Base: Pour the caramel sauce into a steam pudding pan that has a lid and a hole in the middle. Use a silicone basting brush or a small spatula to evenly spread the caramel sauce around the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan.
  3. Blend Flan Mixture: In a blender, combine the coconut condensed milk, soy milk, and eggs. Blend the mixture until completely smooth to ensure a creamy texture for the flan.
  4. Assemble for Baking: Place the steam pudding pan in the center of a larger baking dish with high sides for the water bath. Pour the blended flan mixture into the steam pudding pan and cover it with the lid.
  5. Add Water Bath: Carefully pour boiling water into the larger baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the steam pudding pan. This gentle water bath will help cook the flan evenly without cracking.
  6. Bake Flan: Using oven mitts, carefully place the baking dish in the oven. Bake the flan for 60 minutes, allowing the custard to set while maintaining a smooth texture.
  7. Cool Down: After baking, carefully remove the steam pudding pan from the water bath without opening the lid. Place it on a wire rack to cool for 1 hour at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight to fully set and enhance the flavor.
  8. Unmold and Serve: To serve, invert the flan carefully onto a large serving plate. Keep it chilled for at least 1 hour before serving. Optionally, add extra caramel sauce on top for added sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent curdling when blending.
  • The water bath is crucial to bake the flan evenly and avoid cracking.
  • Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to fully set.
  • Use a sharp knife to loosen the edges if flan sticks to the pan before unmolding.
  • This recipe is dairy-free and suitable for those avoiding lactose.
