White Chocolate Coconut Flan Recipes

Steps:

• You need a 10-inch flan or cake pan.
• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Make Caramel Syrup: Put the sugar in a small saucepan and stir in enough water to moisten all the sugar. Heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Then bring to a rapid boil and cook for several minutes until caramel-colored. Do not stir. (Careful! Cooked sugar is very hot and can burn the skin if it spatters.) Immediately pour the hot caramel syrup into the flan pan and swirl the pan until it coats the bottom and a bit of the sides. The caramel will harden at this point and melt again later as the flan bakes.
• To make custard: In a heavy medium saucepan, over medium heat, combine the white chocolate with the coconut milk, half and half, cinnamon, liqueur, orange zest and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat just until mixture is scalding-hot (not boiling) and chocolate has melted, whisking often. Remove from heat; set aside for 20 minutes or until slightly cool.
• Using a wire whisk, beat eggs and egg yolks, and sugar in a large bowl until blended. Continue whisking the egg mixture as you slowly ladle in the hot chocolate mixture, in a thin stream, until all the hot chocolate mixture has been used up.
• Pour custard mixture into prepared flan pan and set into a slightly larger baking pan. Pour enough boiling-hot water into the larger baking pan to come halfway up the sides of your flan pan.
• Bake flan for one hour. Remove, cool and refrigerate.
• Run the tip of a small, sharp knife around the edge of flan to loosen from pan. Invert onto a serving plate with a lip before serving as the caramel syrup will have melted and created a delicious sauce.

Steps:

• For the Flan:
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a small saucepan combine the 1/2 cup sugar until with 2 tablespoons water and heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and it turns a golden brown color. Carefully pour the caramelized sugar into the bottom of a 10-inch cake pan. Tilt the pan, from side to side, in a circular motion swirling the sugar around so that evenly coats the bottom of the pan. Place the cake pan into a baking dish large enough to accommodate the cake pan and set aside to cool. The sugar will harden as it cools.
• In a large mixing bowl combine eggs, egg yolks, salt, vanilla, remaining 2/3cup sugar and coconut milk. Whisk until well blended. Pour custard mixture into the cake pan over the caramelized sugar. Place the flan into the oven and pour warm water into the baking dish so that it comes up about 1 1/2-inches up the side of the cake pan. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator. To unmold the flan, run a knife around the edge of the cake pan and invert onto a plate.
• For the Cookies:
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, and salt. Beat in the egg whites and melted butter until well incorporated.
• Spoon out batter, about 1/2 a tablespoon at a time, onto a parchment lined baking sheets. Spread cookies into 2 to 3 inch circles about 1/8-inch thick. Sprinkle with coconut and bake 6 minutes or until slightly browned. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheets. Carefully peel from parchment and serve with coconut flan.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange six 3/4-cup custard cups in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Whisk first 5 ingredients in medium bowl to blend. Mix in coconut. Divide mixture among cups. Pour enough hot water into pan to come halfway up sides of cups.
• Bake flans until just set in center, about 30 minutes. Remove flans from pan and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Set 2 6 cup Savarin (or ring) molds in large baking pan.
• Pour in enough boiling water to come halfway up sides. Set in oven.
• Cook sugar and water in heavy small saucepan until sugar dissolves, swirling pan occasionally.
• Increase heat and boil until syrup caramelizes.
• Pour half of syrup into each mold, tilting to coat sides.
• Quickly return molds to water bath.
• Gently blend milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon (if necessary) and salt in large bowl.
• Stir in coconut and chocolate powder.
• Divide mixture between molds; mixture should come to within 1/4 inch of top.
• Bake until custard is set and tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 50 minutes (reduce oven temperature if water starts to boil or custard may curdle).
• Remove from water bath and cool.
• Refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
• Before serving, invert onto platters.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place 1 cup of the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook gently, without stirring, but shaking occasionally until the sugar has melted. Continue cooking until the sugar has completely melted, and turned golden brown. Pour into a large, glass baking dish. Spread the caramel evenly over the bottom of the dish, then set aside to cool for 15 minutes before proceeding.
• Once the caramel has hardened, pour the condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and coconut into a blender. Blend for 3 minutes until smooth. Pour into baking dish over the caramel.
• Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes until set. When done, remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the dish to separate the flan from the sides. Refrigerate overnight.
