Ingredients:
For the Caramel:
* 4 tablespoons water
* 1 cup coconut sugar
For the Flan:
* 1 tablespoon arrowroot starch
* 4 eggs
* 1½ cups evaporated coconut milk
* 1¾ cups condensed coconut milk
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. In a saucepan on medium heat, melt the sugar and water. Stir often to create a thick consistency like caramel.
3. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch glass pie pan and allow to cool so that it doesn’t run.
4. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs and arrowroot starch.
5. Add the evaporated and condensed milk and vanilla.
6. Slowly pour milk mixture into the pie pan on top of the caramel.
7. Put the pie pan in a baking dish and place in the oven.
8. Take some boiling water and fill the baking dish as a water bath.
