Mauritian coconut flan with coffee caramel
African 30 Mins Prep · 45 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- Combine the sugar and coffee in a small pot over a medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Continue cooking for 5-10 minutes, or until caramelised.
- Pour the mixture into a 20cm non-stick baking tin. Swirl it around to cover the base.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients and pour over the caramel.
- Place the dish in a roasting tray large enough to accommodate it. Fill the tray with warm water, just enough to reach the mixture line.
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for approx. 45 minutes or until just set.
- Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To unmold, place the bottom of the tin in warm water for approx. 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the tin. Invert a serving plate over the tin, hold tightly and quickly turn over. Gently, shake the mold to release the flan.
- Top with the coconut flakes and serve immediately.
