Indulge in the ultimate sweet treat that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise! This chocolate coconut flan resembles and tastes just like the iconic bounty chocolate bar, but with a delightful twist!
Place your log mold on top of a bigger mold so you can pour hot water into it, this will create your "bain-marie". Set aside.
Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
COCONUT FLAN PREPARATION
In a mixing bowl, mix in the condensed milk together with the milk, vanilla bean paste and eggs. Add the shredded coconut.
Pour your preparation into your mold. Then pour the boiling hot water into the larger mold, just enough so you have about 1 inch | 2.5 cm.
COOK!
Bake for 40 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Flan from 35 minutes). It is ready when the coconut has set and is golden.
Once your Coconut Flan is out of the oven, let it completely cool down. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Before demolding the flan, run the blade of a knife along the sides and flip it over. Refrigerate while preparing the chocolate ganache.
CHOCOLATE GANACHE PREPARATION
Pour the heavy whipping cream into a microwave safe bowl and bring it just to a boil in microwave, about 30 seconds at a time (1 minute total). Add the dark chocolate chips and swirl to coat all chips. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then stir.
Take the coconut flan out of the refrigerator and pour the chocolate ganache on top. Decorate with white chocolate chips. Enjoy a slice at a time. Bon Appétit!
