Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup heavy cream
1 cup half-and-half (or 1/2 cup. heavy cream + 1/2 cup. milk)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup moist sweetened flaked coconut, lightly toasted
2 tbsp coconut liqueur
2 tbsp coconut snow powdered drink mix (available in most liquor stores - it's in a round container and has a powdery consistency)
2 tbsp coconut syrup
1/4 tsp cinnamon
6 -8 tbsp granulated sugar, for coating cups

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Whisk cream, half& half, and eggs together.
Add confectioner's sugar and brown sugar and whisk.
Blend in toasted coconut, liqueur, snow, syrup, and cinnamon.
Set this aside.
In a heavy saucepan heat the 6-8 TBS sugar just to dissolve and golden.
Immediately pour this sugar syrup into 6-8 individual ovenproof custard cups (dividing equally among them) just to coat bottoms of cups.
Pour the reserved coconut mixture into the cups (also dividing equally).
Place cups in a large roasting pan and fill pan halfway up the cups with water ('waterbath').
Bake for 1 hour (checking that water doesn't boil or flan will curdle- if it does start to boil, just reduce oven temperature[I've never had that problem]).
Remove cups from water bath and cool to room temperature.
Run knife along the edges of each flan to loosen, cover each with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Invert the flans onto plates and garnish with whipped cream, if desired.
Note: Cooking time does not include refrigeration time.
