Photo: Coconut Flan Recipe
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil cooking spray
- 1 cup cajeta* or caramel sauce, at room temperature
- 3 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 6 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup shredded sweetened coconut, toasted
- *can be found in Hispanic grocery stores
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 10-cup Bundt or tube pan with vegetable oil cooking spray.
Drizzle the cajeta into the prepared pan, turning to coat the bottom and sides. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat the milks, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the mixture into the pan. Place the pan inside a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough water to come halfway up the sides. Cover the Bundt pan with foil.
Bake until the center jiggles slightly when pan is moved, about 1 hour 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Refrigerate, covered, for 3 hours or overnight.
Turn the flan out onto a platter. Sprinkle with toasted coconut and serve.

This flan was AWESOME! I made it for my cinco de mayo party yesterday and everybody raved! It was really easy to prepare because you basically just put everything in the kitchen aid at once which is nice. Thanks Marcela! I absolutely will be making this again!

This is unbelievably delicious and really easy! My only comments would be that 1 it's really hard to coat a pan with caramel after having sprayed the pan with nonstick spray, and 2 this is MUCH sweeter than your average flan, and I do wish it were a teensy bit less sweet. Even with those criticisms, though, it is still incredibly delicious. DEFINITELY making this again!
