Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 400 milliliters Coconut milk
• 250 milliliters Whole milk
• 15 grams Fresh ginger root (grated)
• 4 Eggs
• 2 Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1000 milliliters Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar turns a deep golden brown and liquifies into caramel (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3

Carefully pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round flan or pie dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to harden.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, whole milk, eggs, egg yolks, grated ginger, vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve into another bowl to remove any ginger solids and ensure a smooth custard.

Step 5

Gently pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the flan dish.

Step 6

Place the flan dish into a large roasting pan. Pour the hot water into the roasting pan, surrounding the flan dish, until the water reaches halfway up the sides of the dish (this creates a water bath).

Step 7

Carefully transfer the roasting pan with the flan dish into the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for approximately 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center when gently shaken.

Step 9

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

Step 10

To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it. Place a large serving plate over the dish and invert the flan onto the plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.

Step 11

Slice and enjoy your Coconut Ginger Flan!
