Coconut Flan Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 can (14 ounces) regular or light coconut milk
• 1 and 1/2 cups whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium saucepan, combine coconut milk, whole milk, and 1/2 cup of the sugar.
3. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring, until it comes to a simmer and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and remaining sugar until pale yellow in color and frothy.
5. Slowly pour the warm milk mixture into the egg mixture while whisking constantly.
6. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and discard any solids.
7. Pour the strained mixture into a 9-inch cake pan or pie dish.
8. Place the dish into a large roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the side of the dish.
9. Cover the entire assembly with foil.
10. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the custard is just set in the middle.
11. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
12. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
