Ingredients – 2 cans (15 ounces) organic coconut milk – ¾ cup brown sugar – 8 large eggs – 1/3 cup spiced dark rum – 1 teaspoon salt – 1 cup water – ¼ cup coconut chips – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Prep Time Cook Time Cool Down Time 30 minutes 40 minutes 10-12 hours

Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees

• Whisk coconut milk, coconut chips, eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, spiced rum, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl and mix till it is smooth.

• Set aside.

• Heat a skillet pan over medium low heat for 1 minute.

• Set pan in a larger baking dish.

• Slowly pour coconut milk mixture into the baking pan (on top of the cooked sugar).

• Pour boiling water into the larger baking dish to make a water bath that comes halfway up the sides of the pan. Please note: water should not touch the coconut mixture in smaller pan. • Bake for 40 minutes.

• Remove flan from water dish.

• Refrigerate flan for up to 12 hours.

• When you are ready to serve, flip baking pan over and tap the bottom of the pan to firmly release the flan.
