Coconut Flan Recipe Video

I threw this quick video together to accompany my December 23, 2007 Nowlive radio show, promoting my book, Eat What You Want and Die Like a Man - The World's Unhealthiest Cookbook. It's an original recipe for coconut flan. If you can make it to Nowlive, I'm on at 9 Eastern. Here's the URL: http://www.nowlive.com/memberasp/member.asp?id=100223443

Recipe Story

I knew a girl who used to go to restaurants and buy entire coconut flans for 40 bucks. I sat down and wrote down this recipe, and it's better than the restaurant flan, and it saved her a lot of cash. It will also give you heart disease and kill you. I live in Miami, and my Cuban friends will do anything to get my flan.

As per video

Directions

GETTING READY
1) Preheat oven to 350°F.
2) Place 1 1/2 inch deep water bath on bottom rack. Make sure water is at boiling temperature.

MAKING
3) In a bowl, blend the wet ingredients and salt with a mixer.
4) Caramelize the sugar over high heat and coat the bottom of a 9inch baking dish.
5) Place the dish in bath and pour the mixture into baking dish.
6) Add 1/3 package of the coconut flakes and make sure they sink below the surface. They will spread themselves as the flan cooks.
7) Lower the oven temperature to 325°F immediately, and cook for 45 minutes.
8) Test for doneness before removing and allow to cool in the refrigerator.
9) Run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert onto a plate.

SERVING
10) Slice the flan and serve just like that or make caramel syrup from the caramel stuck to the dish, pour over the flan and serve.
