  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Move the oven rack to the lowest position.
  • Heat the sugar in a very sturdy small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes or until dissolved and caramel-colored.
  • Quickly pour into a 9-inch round baking mold; spreading to cover the entire base.
  • Beat the sweetened condensed milk, egg yolks, eggs, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and lemon zest in a medium bowl on low speed.
  • Heat the evaporated milk, coconut cream, and coconut in a small saucepan over low heat; do not boil.
  • Pour a little of the milk mixture into the egg mixture and stir.
  • Gradually add the remaining milk mixture, stirring constantly and carefully to avoid curdling the eggs, pour into the mold.
  • Place the mold in a water bath; fill the tray with warm water to 1 inch deep.
  • Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the flan from the water. Let it cool on a metal rack. Refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • To serve: run a small knife around the edge of the mold. Place a plate over the mold and turn it over, shaking it a little to release the flan. The caramel forms the sauce.
