Start by making a caramel with 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar over low heat until it dissolves and turns golden brown, shaking the pan occasionally to help it dissolve.

Separate 3 whole eggs and 2 egg yolks into a bowl.

Add 1 can of Coco Lopez coconut cream, 1 can of coconut milk, 1/4 cup sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 tablespoon of coconut extract to the eggs and whisk until well combined.

Pour the caramel into a flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

Pour the egg and coconut mixture over the caramel in the mold.

Add about 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside.

Place the flan mold on the trivet in the Instant Pot.

Cook in pressure cooker mode for 20 minutes.

Once the cooking time is up, perform a quick release of the pressure.

Let the flan cool at room temperature before refrigerating for 4 to 6 hours.
