Pina Colada Flan, a tropical twist on a classic flan, is a superb dessert with a creamy texture and tropical flavors. It's a perfect complement to a meal, or a sweet finish to any gathering. This dessert is popular in Spain and Latin America alike. The amazing blend of sweetness, vanilla, and toasted coconut flakes results in a dessert that is not only tasty but also quite appealing to the eye. This dessert is a must-try for anyone who loves a good, creamy kind of dessert and wants a little bit of tropical twist to their flan.

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan, cook white sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a caramel color.
2.	Pour the caramel into 8 inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly and letting the excess caramel coat the sides.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then add sweetened condensed milk, pineapple juice and shaved coconut. Mix until everything is completely combined.
4.	Pour the mixture over the caramel-coated baking dish.
5.	Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Fill a larger pan with 1 inch of water and place the flan dish into the water.
6.	Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7.	Once done, take out from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, cover with a clean dish towel and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
8.	Once ready to serve, run a knife carefully around the edges of the dish. Place a serving plate on top of the flan dish and carefully flip over, letting the flan come out on the plate. The caramel sauce will flow on to the serving plate.
