Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place 1 cup of the sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook gently, without stirring, but shaking occasionally until the sugar has melted. Continue cooking until the sugar has completely melted, and turned golden brown. Pour into a large, glass baking dish. Spread the caramel evenly over the bottom of the dish, then set aside to cool for 15 minutes before proceeding.
- Once the caramel has hardened, pour the condensed milk, evaporated milk, milk, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, and coconut into a blender. Blend for 3 minutes until smooth. Pour into baking dish over the caramel.
- Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes until set. When done, remove from oven and let cool for 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the dish to separate the flan from the sides. Refrigerate overnight.

Steps:
- 1. Pour the sugar in a small saucepan and melt it at low temperature until it dissolves and gets a nice brown color. Check it often or it gets burned. Add 1/2 cup water and let it cook at medium temperature until the liquid has a syrupy consistency. It will be very hot. Pour it into a medium-size baking dish and cover the bottom and sides of the pan.
- 2. Blend the milk with the coconut for 10 seconds or so. Pour this mixture in a bowl and add the beaten eggs. Mix well and add the remaining ingredients stirring well. Pour this mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in a double boiler at 350F for 45 minutes to 1 hour. It will be ready when the top of the dessert looks golden brown and when a skewer inserted in the center of the flan, comes out clean. Let it cool down. Store in the fridge for at least 5 hours or overnight. To unmold: Microwave the flan in the baking dish for 2 minutes and turn over a platter. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Enjoy!
