Serves 6

Prep time: 5 min.

1 box (2 oz.) GOYA® Flan

1 tsp. GOYA® Vanilla Extract

1 package (3.15 oz.) GOYA® Chocolate Maria Cookies

Small sugar flowers (optional)

1.	In small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring coconut milk to boil. Using a whisk, slowly stir in contents of flan package and vanilla extract. Cook flan mixture 2 min.
2.	Pour coconut flan into six 4-oz ramekins; cover and chill until firm, about 2 hrs. Meanwhile, place cookies in bowl of food processor. Pulse until cookies turn into fine crumbs.

No Food Processor? No Problem!

To transform cookies into fine crumbs sans food processor, try this: Place cookies in large zip-top bag; seal tightly, squeezing out any air. Place bag on work surface. Using blunt end of rolling pin or bottom of skillet, pound cookies until fine crumb forms.
