Cooking Cruise Food Challenge Baking Carnival Cruise's Famous Flan!

 

INGREDIENTS

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 (13.5 oz) can coconut milk

  • ½ cup shredded coconut (for garnish)

  • 1 pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Add sugar to a medium saucepan and cook over low-medium heat, stirring continuously to keep it from burning and sticking to the pan. When it’s done (about 10 minutes), it will be melted and caramel-colored.

  • Carefully pour melted sugar into flan pan.

  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs, coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, and salt until well blended.

  • Pour into flan pan, and then set flan pan into larger baking pan. Fill larger pan with 1 inch of hot tap water.

  • Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • While flan is baking, add shredded coconut to a dry skillet and cook on medium heat until the edges are toasted and starting to brown. Set aside as garnish.

  • Carefully remove from the oven and let it cool.

  • Chill for a few hours or overnight.

  • When ready to serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it from the sides.

  • Fancy bonus! Garnish with toasted coconut and serve!
