Ingredients

• 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut, toasted (for garnish)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice, and rum. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. In a separate saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns golden brown. Carefully pour the caramelized sugar into a 9-inch round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom and sides.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
5. Slowly pour the coconut milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
6. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water to create a water bath.
7. Carefully transfer the pans to the preheated oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the flan is set but still jiggly in the center.
8. Remove the pans from the oven and let the flan cool completely in the water bath. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
9. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the baking dish to loosen the flan. Place a serving plate on top of the baking dish and invert the flan onto the plate. Remove the baking dish and let the caramel sauce drizzle down the sides of the flan.
10. Garnish the flan with toasted coconut flakes before serving. Slice and enjoy!
