Yes, this is a flan, minus the traditional caramel coat that usually floats on top. I swapped that out for a raspberry glaze. You know me, I have no sense, I’m always tweaking things to see the outcome.
And I have to say, I’m liking this version, especially since this isn’t just any ordinary flan, it’s a coconut flan and makes for a killer pairing with the raspberries.
Next time I make this I’m going to try it with this salted coconut caramel sauce.

I am going to have to find an occasion to make this because the idea of using a raspberry syrup is so temping! I am thinking of doing this with a lime glaze too.
SO pretty and light; your creative juices are really working over time.

Coconut and raspberry! For some reason I’ve never really had that pairing before, but sounds like perfections!

We are big flan lovers over here. I normally make a traditional Basque one with caramel that my great and grand mothers made. I cannot wait to break out of tradition and try this!
