Delicious !! Just like the one I make for years but I do not use the sugar(1 1/2 cups) the sweetened condensed milk and the caramel sauce makes it sweet enough. It can also be made with regular milk. I also usse a water bath to bake it.

Unreal. And just got better with age. I know because the leftovers that stayed in the frige for a few days were even better and more beautifully permeated with gorgeous caramel color than when I first served it. I, too, had trouble with the caramel hardening too quickly so I kept microwaving it in short bursts to get it to flow over more of the plate. Turns out this wasn't necessary since the flan is watery enough to liquify that layer to perfection as it sets and it oozes nicely around the entire pan.

I tried this recipe and it turned out really good. My only problem was: there was way too much sugar in it. Next time that i will try it, i will probably put less sugar

I prepared this flan last night and put it in the refrigerator to set overnight. When I checked on it this morning half of it was already gone. My family just couldn't resist. super easy and delicious.

Very good and very easy flan. I had a bit of trouble with the sugar syrup, but the actual custard came out very nice. The only changes I made was to add a bit of coconut extract to make it extra coconutty and I baked it in a water bath. Came out perfect (except the sugar syrup I overcooked!)

Great recipe! I made this for hubby's squadron luncheon and they raved!!! I made this the first time and it bombed (I have no idea what I did wrong, but I was determined to try again). The caramel/sugar coat hardened too fast so I had to make several sugar batches in order to cover all of the bottom of the glassware. Oh! I almost forgot to mention that I took the advice of someone of this site and added a can of coconut milk to the mix along with everything else since I didn't have shaved coconut on hand. It still tasted great.

I made this for my boyfriend and his family once and it lasted all of a few hours. They eat flan like most people drink water and never have they had coconut in it! Since then I have been asked maybe twenty times in two months to make it again! I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I didn't like it but everyone else liked it in the house. It didn't last more than a day! I think it's because I am not a chocolate lover. Be careful when putting the chocolate cake mix on top of the flan. You have to put it on very gentle in order to keep both layers seperated.

This is a good flan recipe. I made this, however my family isn`t flan lover. The texture was creamy and tender. I didn`t add sugar into the milk mixture.

Super easy recipe! Texture and flavor was amazing. I used sweetened coconut flakes instead of fresh coconut and it tasted just as tropical. Thanks for sharing!

This flan is delicious. I prepared it two days ago, but I made a couple changes: Instead of using regular milk, i added one cup evaporated milk and a can of coconut milk and it was great! Advice: Be careful for not over cooking the sugar for the syrup, it may get bitter.

This was so easy to make that I was suspicious. However, I served this to a dinner party of 8 people and it was fantastic. It tasted fabulous and the texture/consistency was perfect. I served with a dollop of whip cream and some fresh quartered oranges and dark chocolate on the side. Even the guests who do not normally like dessert were raving!
