Lightened Up Coconut Caramel Flan
Lightened Up Coconut Caramel Flan (Fiesta Fridays)
Author: 
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 6
 
Ingredients
Caramel Sauce
  • 1/4 cup sugar in the raw
  • 1/2 tablespoon water
  • 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
Flan
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup skim milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 tablespoon truvia
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Farenheit.
  2. Boil 2 cups of water over high heat.
  3. Spray a pan with cooking spray or grease it.
  4. In a small pot, add the three ingredients for the caramel sauce, mix to combine, and heat over low heat until you see bubbles around the edges.
  5. Immediately pour the caramel sauce into the pan and slightly shake the pan to evenly distribute. Set aside and let cool while you make the flan mixture.
  6. Add all flan ingredients to a large bowl.
  7. With an electric beater, mix for a minute or two, until all of the egg white and yolk is completely combined with the other ingredients.
  8. Bang the bottom of your mixing bowl against the counter to release most of the air bubbles. There might still be some small ones but try to get rid of as many as you can by dropping the bowl multiple times.
  9. Pour carefully and slowly over caramel sauce and set in a larger pan. Fill the larger pan with about 1-2 inches of the boiling water.
  10. Bake for 1 hour, or until a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean.
  11. Prepare a cookie sheet with ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut.
  12. Remove flan from the oven, keep the oven at 325 degrees and place coconut in the oven for about 5-10 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on the coconut because it will not need long and burns quickly.
  13. Let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least an hour and up to overnight. When ready to serve, loosen edges with a knife and invert the baking pan onto a dish. Caramel sauce will pour over.
  14. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top.
