Rum minimizes all other flavors too much. This recipe is much much better without the additon of the rum. I remember my mother making his for us as children, give it a try but w/o rum your results will be sweeter and the coconut flavor will be present.

I love coconut but hated this. I could barely taste coconut over the rum. I gave it 2 stars because my husband liked it.

This was a very interesting recipe. It seems to be a combination coconut cream pie/custard/flan. Because I prefer a creamy custard I substituted evaporated milk with 1/2 whipping cream, 1/2 vanilla soy milk. I used coconut milk instead of cream of coconut and bagged coconut flakes because they don't sell canned coconut flakes in syrup here. I put the glass pan on a towl in a deep cookie sheet which I placed in the oven and filled with water for even heating. After an hour, the custard was pale and beautifully cooked, so I sprinkled some white sugar (1/4 cup) on the top and broiled it on high until the top was golden and crunchy. Then I cooled it and refrigerated it for 2 hours. Lovely creamy custard with a sweet crunchy top.

Not good at all, I have good luck with all the recipes I have tried, so I know it was not something I did wrong, plus Im Puerto Rican so I know alot about flan. This was not even close. It tasted too much like rum, too much coconut and the texture was not creamy or custardy.

I have to give this 5 stars because I made it for my husband who is a coconut lover and he was in heaven! I like cocount, not as much as him, so I did enjoy this dessert, but it is definitely enjoyed best by coconut lovers. I think it would also be really good baked with a pie crust.

Outstanding! Don’t underestimate the plain look of this most delicious dessert with a crisp top layer and a flan-like inside. It was very easy and quick to make.

This was so easy to make and is great for coconut lovers. I did use the flaked coconut also because I couldn't find any in a can, and it turned out great. Seems like it would be really good in some kind of a pastry shell. I may try that next time.

Everyone who liked coconut, liked this recipe. Those who did not like coconut hated this recipe. The only thing I will change next time, is I will add less flaked coconut. I thought it took away from the texture. **For all those having a difficult time finding Cream of Coconut, look in the liquor isle with the Pina Colada mixes. That is where I found it
