Boy does this coconut flan bring back memories. My mom would make this almost every weekend when I was a kid and my brother and I would devour it.
This is probably one of the easiest desserts to make. The toughest part is making the caramel sauce. Once the caramel sauce is done everything else is super easy. Literally, place all of the remaining ingredients into a blender and done.
Tips for a delicious flan de coco:
- Toast the shredded coconut to give it a little extra color.
- Add a bit of rum if you’re feeling frisky.
