What you need:
For the flan:
1 cup cashew milk
1 can coconut cream
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
3 tablespoons tapioca flour
1 teaspoon agar agar
For the caramel:
¼ cup coconut sugar
¼ cup filtered water
What you do:
- For the flan, into a high-powered blender, add all ingredients and blend until smooth.
- Into a small saucepan over medium-low heat, pour flan mixture and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, being careful not to burn. Stir with a whisk consistently the entire time.
- Once desired texture is reached, remove from heat and set aside.
- For the caramel, into a separate saucepan over medium-low heat, add all ingredients. Stir with a rubber spatula consistently for 2 to 4 minutes until contents are reduced by half. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Into two 5-inch ramekins, pour a thin layer of caramel. Carefully pour flan mixture on top, to the brim. Cover and place in refrigerator for 3 to 6 hours or overnight.
- Remover from refrigerator and place ramekin bottom in 2-inch lukewarm water for 1 to 2 minutes, being careful not to get any water inside ramekin. Run a butter knife along edges to loosen flan.
- Place a small plate with edges on top of ramekin, squeeze together with both hands, and quickly flip over to release flan onto plate.
