Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut cream
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 large eggs
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut sugar and water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Step 3
Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, without stirring. Continue cooking until the syrup turns a deep amber color, about 6-8 minutes.
Step 4
Immediately pour the caramelized sugar into a 9-inch round cake pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut cream, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth.
Step 6
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then gradually whisk into the coconut mixture until well combined.
Step 7
Pour the custard mixture over the hardened caramel in the cake pan.
Step 8
Place the filled cake pan in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan, creating a water bath.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the water bath to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 55-60 minutes, or until the flan is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and allow the flan to cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Step 11
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan to loosen. Place a serving plate over the pan and invert to release the flan onto the plate.
Step 12
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Whole30 Classic Caramel Flan!
