Coconut Leche Flan Recipe

Ingredients:  Oven: Preheat to 150°C

150 g brown sugar

60 ml water

500 ml thick coconut milk

6 egg yolks

4 egg whites, lightly beaten with a fork

60 g castor sugar

teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon grated lemon rind

 

Method:

Cook the brown sugar and water over moderate heat until the sugar caramelizes.  Coat an 18-cm heatproof dish with ¾ of the caramel.  Set aside.

 

Stir the coconut milk into the caramel remaining in the pot and cook over low heat, stirring continuously for 1 minute.  Mix the yolks and lightly-beaten whites.  Stir in the sugar, salt and lemon rind.  Add the coconut milk-and-caramel mixture.  Mix well and strain into the caramel-laced dish.  Sit the dish in an oven tray filled with water and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.  Remove the water bath and place dish under the grill to brown the top at 220°C.  Cool and remove from mould before serving.
