Equipment
Ingredients
Healthy Caramel
- 12 tbsp pure date syrup, 2 tbsp per container
Caramel
- 1/2 cup raw sugar, or coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/5 tsp cream of tartar, don't skip!
Custard
- 400 ml full-fat coconut milk, canned (ONLY extract the solids of a can refrigerated overnight)
- 2 cups creamy oat milk, Oatly Barista
- 6 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp agar powder
- 4 tbsp raw sugar
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon zest, or orange zest (both highly recommended, we can't choose which one is best! Both ways the Crème Caramel turns out super delicious!)
Toppings
- Fresh mint leaves
- Lemon zest, or orange zest
Instructions
Healthy Caramel
- This is our favourite option. Simply pour 2 tbsp of pure date syrup into the bottom of each individual container.
Caramel
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the raw sugar, water, and cream of tartar.
- Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a silicone spatula. Let it boil for a couple of minutes, stirring.
- It will become bubbly, be careful so the sugar doesn't burn.
- When the sugar has melted and the caramel looks amber-coloured, turn off the heat.
- Pour 2 tablespoons of caramel into the bottom of each container and let set at room temperature.
Custard
- Make sure to have refrigerated the can of full-fat coconut milk overnight.
- Extract only the solids of the coconut milk can and place them in a small saucepan. Bring the saucepan to a simmer. Let it melt, stirring until smooth.
- Combine the creamy oat milk, cornstarch, agar powder, raw sugar, pure vanilla extract, and lemon or orange zest in cold, until smooth. Pour the mixture into the simmering coconut milk, and bring to a simmer again over medium heat. Continue stirring while it simmers for 6-8 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Let simmer until it becomes thick and creamy, stirring continuously.
- Turn off the heat.
- Carefully, spoon the custard into the moulds, on top of the caramel, and smooth them over with a spatula or the back of a small spoon.
- Cover the moulds and store them in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours or overnight, allowing them to set.
- Before serving, carefully turn them onto individual plates and garnish with more lemon or orange zest and a few leaves of fresh mint. Enjoy this delicious dessert!
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator, covered tightly with cling film, for up to 2 days.

This is the most delicious flan we have ever had! Thank you for an amazing recipe!
Wondering what size would and if you could give measurements in cups etc consistently as I do t understand metric…looking forward to making this… Thanks
Hi!
Do you mean the measurement of the coconut milk? This is a standard coconut milk can which weighs 13.5 fl oz / 400 ml. But you only need to take the solids of the can, not the liquids. The can must be refrigerated overnight first. All the other measurements are provided in cups, tbsp and tsp.
Hope this helps and that you love the recipe!!!
Oatly barista contains gluten, is there a gluten free and dairy free milk that I can use?
Hi, Nancy! Yes, unsweetened soya milk would be perfect too!
this flan is very delicious thank you for creating this delicious recipe
