Coconut Caramel Flan

Coconut Caramel Flan

A luscious Coconut Caramel Flan for dessert lovers. It’s very easy to make.

Flan is a smooth and creamy custard dessert typically made with eggs, milk or cream, and sugar. It’s baked or steamed in a mold and often inverted to reveal a beautiful caramel topping. The texture can vary from light and airy to dense and rich, depending on the recipe.

The origins of flan can be traced back to the Roman Empire. Back then, it was a more savory dish, featuring ingredients like fish or meat. Over time, the recipe evolved into a sweeter version flavored with honey. The word “flan” itself comes from the Old French word “flaon,” which has roots in Latin and Old High German, all referring to a “flat cake.”

Fast forward to medieval Europe, where Spain took a particular liking to flan and incorporated caramelized sugar, adding a delightful touch we enjoy today. The influence of the Moors in Spain is also credited with introducing citrus fruits and almonds to the recipe.

When Spanish conquistadors arrived in the Americas, flan became part of the cultural exchange. Mexicans embraced the dessert and further developed it, incorporating flavors like coffee, chocolate, and even coconut. This is where the flan we know and love today took shape.
