Coconut Milk

I used to make flan with coconut milk even before we went vegan, simply because we like the taste of it better. But once I completely veganized the entire recipe, I realized that, not only is this version so much better than the traditional, but it's also way easier to make.

Once the caramel is made, this flan only requires 10 minutes of cooking, to activate the agar, which is what I use as a binding agent. Then just pop it in the refrigerator to chill, and you're done.

We often make this flan when we really want to impress our non-vegan friends at a vegan dinner party😁

Prepare for the Trader Joe’s haul. I really need to go there more, it’s ways less expensive than most places near me.

Anyway, coconut milk. Yep, what you’d expect, lol #uplandspeak

My favorite canned coconut milk...great in soups

Trader Joe’s canned Coconut Milk gave my Curry Chick Pea sauce very creamy. 

Great pantry staple for vegan recipes! Trader Joe’s always has the best quality and value. This coconut milk has some cream on the top that is great for using for thick sauces, vegan cheesecake or desserts. It’s also great in curries, soups, stews, etc. I made a delicious stew this evening with mushrooms, kale, mirapoix, potatoes, mixed rice (had a few bags of rice that each had a little left), seasoned with old bay and Trader Joe’s mushroom umami and finished with this coconut milk and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Came out very good! Hearty and flavorful.
