Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). For caramel, combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook without stirring until sugar dissolves and turns deep amber (5-7 minutes), swirling gently. Pour into a 9-inch baking dish, tilting to coat bottom evenly; set aside to harden.
  2. Step 2: In a blender, combine eggs, condensed milk, coconut milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend on low for 1 minute until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into the caramel-lined baking dish. Place dish in a larger pan, then fill larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides (water bath).
  4. Step 4: Bake 50-60 minutes until set (center should have slight jiggle). Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Step 5: Run a knife around edge, invert onto serving plate, and sprinkle with coconut flakes before serving.
