Recipe View To serve, carefully invert the flan onto a rimmed serving plate, allowing the caramel sauce to cascade over the flan.

For an extra coconut boost, toast the shredded coconut before adding it to the blender.
Be patient with the caramel; don't stir it, or it will crystallize. Just let it melt slowly and evenly.
A water bath (bain-marie) helps the flan cook gently and prevents it from cracking. Place the baking dish inside a larger pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish.

    I was a little intimidated by the caramel, but it was actually quite easy. The recipe is very clear and straightforward.
