Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans coconut milk
  • 8 eggs
  • 3/4 cup white sugar, divided, or more to taste
  • 1/4 cup dark spiced rum
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 cup boiling water, or as needed

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Whisk coconut milk, eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, rum, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour 1/2 cup sugar into a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until melted and golden in color, about 8 minutes. Pour into an 8-inch flan or cake pan and swirl to coat the bottom.
  • Set pan in a larger baking dish. Pour in coconut milk mixture. Pour enough boiling water into the baking dish to make a water bath that comes halfway up the sides of the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the flan comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from water bath.
  • Refrigerate flan until cold, at least 12 hours. Unmold by gently pushing the sides of the flan away from the pan. Place a serving plate on top of the pan and flip over; tap bottom of the pan firmly to release flan.
