Equipment

  • - Electric Mixer (Handhited) - Ideal for whisking eggs and sugar to make caramel. A hand-operated device suitable for small batches such as coconut flan.

  • - 9-inch Tart Pan with Removable Bottom - Essential for creating a perfectly shaped flan, allowing easy release without damaging texture.

  • - Silicone Spatula - Useful for scraping batter and pouring caramel evenly in egg-based desserts like flan.

  • - Fine Mesh Sieve - For straining coconut milk or any liquid ingredients to ensure smooth flan texture without lumps.

  • - Chef's Knife - Important for preparing and portioning accompanying fruits such as pineapple or mango slices, although not directly listed in the recipe.

  • - Digital Food Scale - Critical for precise measurements of ingredients like sugar to achieve the correct caramel texture and sweetness level.
