How to Make Coconut Caramel Cream Cheese Flan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the caramel: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar and water. Cook, without stirring, until the sugar dissolves and turns into an amber caramel. Carefully pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch flan pan or similar oven-safe dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the granulated sugar and beat until combined.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk, coconut extract, and salt until well combined.
  7. Gently pour the batter over the caramel in the prepared flan pan.
  8. Place the flan pan in a larger baking dish. Carefully pour enough hot water into the larger dish to come halfway up the sides of the flan pan (this creates a water bath).
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 75-90 minutes, or until the flan is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the water bath. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flan to fully set.
  11. To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it from the pan. Invert onto a serving plate and enjoy!
