Flan De Coco Ecuadoreana Recipe #170478
There are a couple of good coconut flan recipes here, but none that are as easy or as fool-proof as this one, which I learned in Ecuador. Not only is it easy, but it minimizes use of utensils and so forth so there is very little cleaning up--and your flan mold will be licked clean.
