Ingredients




1 cup sugar
2 cups coconut milk
6 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon rum
zest of two limes

1/2 cup coconut, toasted

Preparation

1 Heat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Bring a full kettle to the boil for a water bath. 2 Melt the sugar with a spoonful of water in a saucepan until golden, and pour into an 8-inch/20 cm metal cake tin. It will harden in about five minutes. 3 Meanwhile, whisk together all the remaining ingredients except for the lime zest and coconut. Strain the custard over the hardened caramel. Scatter over the lime zest and coconut and swirl a bit with a spoon to blend evenly. 4 Bake in a water bath until set, about 40 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

About


This is from Laura Calder's show French Food at Home that's broadcast on Food Network. The flan is dense and an absolute great finale to a main meal of halibut with browned butter.
