Flan: Coconut, Lime and Caramel

By fsilver4

This is a fabulous dish for Spring dining outdoors. In Florida we love grilling and eating outdoors during the spring months and this is a wonderful dessert to end the evening.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 cans coconut milk
• 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 3 large eggs/ 2 egg yolks
• zest of a whole lime
• 1/4 cups coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat 325*

Combine sugar and water, and cook until golden brown.

Pour into a 9' pie plate or baking pan.

Put all ingredients except lime zest into a blender and blend until completely smooth. Stir in lime zest. Pour all ingredients over caramel mixture. Do not stir with a spoon at this point as not to disturb the caramel under the mixture. Bake 1 hour in a dish with a bath water half way up the sides of the dish to avoid custard from cracking. Chill for at least 2 hours.
