Coconut Flan recipe?

[momnivore]

I used to have a recipe for a coconut flan and can't find it now. All I can find that is close Is one on epicurious for six individual flans. Anyone have a recipe for one large one or know if I can convert the six into one (and if so, how)? Thanks.

This recipe I've tested. You can make as written or sub the evaporated milk for coconut milk.
Enjoy!

Great thank you! Do you prefer it with coconut milk? Or is it too sweet?

[HillJ]

Usually I omit the caramel syrup if I use coconut milk, plus the coconut doesn't compete with the caramel flavor as much. But, it's a personal preference.

The sweetened condensed milk is what makes it too sweet for me. I never use it, just coconut milk, which is a natural kind os sweet not cloying.

[HillJ]

you have a point regarding sweetened condensed milk. However, in the recipe I cited above, the condensed milk & the cream cheese play a role in the texture of the flan. The coconut milk would sub nicely for the evaporated milk w/out changing the texture. I'd adjust the sugar; both in the flan base and do w/out the caramel syrup.

momnivore, if you prefer that the coconut flavor come through, refer to another recipe.
Happy baking!

I meant that I would use a coconut milk based recipe, or one with cm and cream. Sorry to be unclear.
