Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 °C and lightly butter 8 small flan or muffin moulds.
- Make the caramel: melt 100 g of sugar with the water in a pan until golden, then divide it among the bottoms of the moulds.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the 200 g of sugar until pale and frothy.
- Add the shredded coconut, the coconut milk, the vanilla, the zest if using and the pinch of salt, then mix.
- Pour the mixture into the moulds over the caramel, filling them three quarters full.
- Place the moulds in a dish of hot water as a bain-marie and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the top is golden and the centre still wobbles slightly.
- Let cool completely, then unmould gently by running a knife around the edges, and keep in the fridge until serving.
Variations and tips
Large mould version. Bake the mixture in a buttered 20 cm round tin for 50 to 55 minutes in a bain-marie, then cut into slices.
Using what's easy to find. If you don't have fresh shredded coconut, use unsweetened dried coconut rehydrated in a little milk.
