Almond Coconut Flan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Combine 1/2 cup SPLENDA Sugar Blend for Baking and water in a small heavy saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture is golden in color (about 4 minutes). Immediately pour mixture evenly into a 9-inch cake pan. Mixture will harden and may crack slightly as it cools.

Combine coconut milk and skim milk in a saucepan; bring to a boil.

Beat eggs and yolks at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1/3 cup SPLENDA Sugar Blend for Baking, beating until blended. Gradually add hot milks, beating until blended. Add almond extract and coconut; beat at low speed until blended. Pour mixture over caramelized SPLENDA Sugar Blend for Baking. Place cake pan in a roasting pan. Add hot water to a depth of 1-inch in the roasting pan.

Bake for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake pan from water and cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes; cover and chill for 8 hours or overnight. Loosen edges with a thin knife. Invert flan onto serving plate; sprinkle with toasted almonds.
