Dessert: Coconut Flan

Ingredients

3 cups sugar
3 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1 (14-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 (14-ounce) can evaporated milk
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons coconut extract
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 °F.
Place 2 cups of the sugar in a heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, until caramelized. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch-round, 3-inch-deep pan (or divide among 12 individual ramekins), turning to coat the bottom and sides. Set aside for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix the milks, eggs, coconut extract, vanilla extract, and salt. Pour the mixture over the caramel. Set in a water bath and cover with foil.
Bake until the center is set, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Chill for 3 hours or overnight.
Before serving, turn the flan onto a serving plate. Heat the remaining sugar in 1 cup water over medium-high heat until it dissolves, about 30 seconds. Stir in the coconut and spoon over the flan.
