How to make Coconut Flan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- If desired, gently fold in the shredded coconut.
- Grease a 6-cup (1.4 liter) capacity baking dish or flan mold generously.
- Pour the mixture into the mold and smooth the surface.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
