Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
In a pot, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and caramelizes. Pour the caramel into a flan mold and make sure to cover the bottom.
In a bowl, mix the coconut milk, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla essence, and shredded coconut. Beat everything until it forms a homogeneous mixture.
Pour the mixture into the caramelized flan mold.
Place the mold inside a larger container and fill it halfway with water. This is called a water bath.
Bake for 1 hour or until the flan is firm to the touch.
Let it cool completely before serving.
Unmold and serve alone or with a caramel or fresh fruit sauce.
