1. Can I use regular milk instead of coconut milk?
Yes, if you don’t have coconut milk on hand, you can use regular whole milk or another milk alternative like almond milk. However, this will change the flavor profile, as coconut milk adds richness and a slight coconut flavor.
2. Is the flan suitable for those with dietary restrictions?
This flan is dairy-free and gluten-free, making it suitable for many dietary restrictions. Just ensure you're using a suitable sweetener if you're on a low-carb or sugar-free diet.
3. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Yes, this flan can be made a day or two in advance. In fact, chilling it overnight improves the texture and allows the flavors to meld together.
4. What if I don’t have a water bath setup?
A water bath helps to cook the flan evenly, but if you don’t have a large pan, you can still bake the flan without it. Just reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and bake the flan more gently, checking for doneness around the 35-minute mark.
5. How can I adjust the sweetness?
You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less coconut sugar based on your preference. Start with the suggested amount and taste the mixture before baking to see if it needs more sweetener.
