Ingredients
- 400 ml Coconut milk
- 200 grams Silken tofu
- 200 grams Coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 pieces Egg yolks
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a small saucepan, add the granulated sugar and water. Place over medium heat and allow the sugar to dissolve. Stir occasionally until the sugar turns into a golden-brown caramel. This should take about 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Immediately pour the caramel into a round 8-inch baking dish, tilting the dish to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to allow the caramel to cool and harden.
Step 4
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, silken tofu, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolks. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 5
Pour the blended mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
Step 6
Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and carefully fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a water bath.
Step 7
Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the center of the flan is set and barely jiggles.
Step 8
Remove the flan from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature in the water bath.
Step 9
Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 10
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it, then invert onto a serving plate so the caramel is on top.
Step 11
Slice and enjoy your dairy-free delight!
