Ingredients
- 10 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 3 eggs

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water

Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
-
To make the caramel: Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepot and cook over high heat, without stirring, until it darkens to amber. Pour the caramel evenly into 6 ramekins and set aside.
-
For custard: Combine condensed milk, eggs, evaporated milk and coconut cream in a bowl or food processor. Mix until smooth. Fill each ramekin with this mixture, then place ramekin in roasting pan. Create a water bath by filling the roasting pan 1/3 way with hot water, and cook, covered with foil, for 25 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
-
To unmold the flan: Take a paring knife and run it around the sides of the ramekin to loosen the flan. To help it along, you may also place the ramekin in a shallow bowl with warm water until it comes halfway up the sides for a few seconds. Invert a serving plate on top of the ramekin and flip over to unmold.
-
Garnish with berries and mint leaves.
