Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 397 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 240 milliliters Whole milk
• 5 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a small saucepan, add 200 grams of granulated sugar and 60 milliliters of water. Heat over medium heat while stirring gently until the sugar dissolves.

Step 3

Once dissolved, stop stirring and let the mixture simmer until it turns into a golden caramel, about 5-7 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.

Step 4

Immediately pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish or flan mold, tilting it to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to let the caramel harden.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, blend 225 grams of softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Add the 397 grams of sweetened condensed milk, 400 milliliters of coconut milk, 240 milliliters of whole milk, 5 large eggs, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the flan mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the caramel-coated baking dish. This ensures the flan is silky without lumps.

Step 8

Place the baking dish into a larger roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the flan dish (creating a water bath).

Step 9

Carefully place the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 10

Remove the flan from the water bath and allow it to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.

Step 11

To serve, run a sharp knife around the edges of the flan to release it. Place a large serving plate over the dish and quickly invert to unmold. The caramel will flow over the flan as a sauce.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Coconut Caramel Cream Cheese Flan!
