Coconut & chocolate flan

New year, new flan! This time, I suggest you a bounty version: chocolate & coconut, a delicious association 😊 As always for flans, the recipe is simple, a custard on the dough of your choice, the most difficult is to wait for the flan to cool down to taste it! I used a puff pastry, you can use the pastry of your choice, many recipes are available here: puff pastry, almond dough, shortbread... depending on your preferences.
 
 
 
 Prep time : 20 minutes + preparation of the dough + 35 minutes cooking
