coconut flan

Creamy island dessert

Coconut flan is a custard dessert combining the creamy, caramel-topped Latin American flan with coconut flavor—typically from coconut milk, shredded coconut, or both.

The coconut adds richness and tropical character to the silky egg custard: She made coconut flan for the party.

Popular throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
