7 large eggs

3 large egg yolks

2 1/2 cups granulated sugar -- divided

1 tablespoons water

1 cup diced mango -- or cantaloupe

1 cup diced papaya

1 cup diced pineapple

1/4 cup coconut rum -- or pineapple juice

Preparation / Directions:


FLAN In small stainless steel saucepan, scald the cream, whole milk and coconut milk. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, egg yolks and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Slowly add the warm milk mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly to avoid cooking the eggs. Strain through a fine sieve. Set aside while you prepare the pan. In a small saucepan combine the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until sugar is golden brown. While still hot pour into an 8-inch pie plate, tilting to coat the entire bottom. Allow to cool for 3-4 minutes. Pour in the flan mixture and place in water bath (place pie plate in another larger dish three-quarters filled with warm water). Bake in preheated 300-degree F. oven for 1 hour or until firm. Cool completely. Carefully run a knife around edge of plate and turn out onto platter. Serve wedges of flan topped with Fruit Salsa and sprinkled with toasted coconut. FRUIT SALSA In a medium bowl combine all ingredients.
