Ingredients

• 1 can (14 ounces) Sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (13.5 ounces) Coconut milk
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Caramel syrup

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, gently heat the caramel syrup until it becomes a smooth liquid (if it has thickened). Pour an even layer of caramel syrup into the bottom of an 8-inch round baking dish or flan mold. Swirl the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.

Step 3

In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend on medium speed until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Add the shredded sweetened coconut into the blender and pulse a few times to evenly distribute the coconut without blending it completely.

Step 5

Gently pour the custard mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.

Step 6

Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the custard dish, creating a water bath to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Carefully place the roasting pan into the preheated oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the baking dish from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature. Then, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to chill and firm up.

Step 9

To serve, run a knife around the edge of the custard to loosen it. Invert the dish onto a serving platter to release the custard and caramel topping.

Step 10

Slice the Cocada Coconut Custard into portions and garnish with additional shredded coconut if desired.
