Description
A delicious and creamy vegan caramel flan made with coconut and almond milk, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, almond milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and well combined.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate small saucepan, combine the brown sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color, about 5 minutes.
- Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour the thickened coconut-almond mixture over the caramel in the cake pan.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it in a larger baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cake pan, creating a water bath.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert the flan onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a tablespoon of coffee or espresso powder to the coconut-almond mixture before cooking.
- You can also substitute maple syrup for the granulated sugar for a different sweetness profile.
