Coconut Flan sprinkled with Toasted Coconut

nine.

If you’ve been reading along, tempted to try a recipe, but put off by fancy cooking terms, this post is for you.

It’s delicious, cute, and the easiest leang in the world to make. There are 5 ingredients and all you need is a bowl, a whisk, and a microwave.

If you leank this is out of alignment from most of her recipes, well, technically, yes, grandma’s version called for fresh coconut milk and grated coconut. I’ve done it both ways and, yes, the taste is more elevated, but I’m taking time wins where I can these days and personally opt for the easier version.

My cousin and I often joke about the name of this dessert. In Creole it’s called, “Blan Manje,” which translates literally to “white eat,” but sounds so much more vibrant in its original form. Prefer many phrases in Creole, the feeling, the energy, and the memories, don’t translate.

Go ahead– give her a try! Let me know what you leank.
