Coconut Flan

Coconut Flan is a rich and creamy keto-friendly dessert that combines the tropical flavor of coconut with the traditional smooth texture of Spanish flan. This luscious treat is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without straying from your low-carb lifestyle.

Ingredients

• Canned coconut milk - 200 ml
• Eggs - 2 large
• Erythritol - 40 g
• Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
• Unsweetened shredded coconut - 30 g
• Butter - 1 tbsp
• Salt - a pinch

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, erythritol, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
3. Add the canned coconut milk and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, and whisk until smooth.
4. Stir in the unsweetened shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
5. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the mixture from the bowl and stir well for 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken.
6. Pour the mixture into two ramekins or small oven-safe dishes.
7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
10. To serve, carefully run a knife around the edges of the flan, invert onto a plate, and garnish with additional shredded coconut if desired.
