4 Eggs
1/4 TSP Cinnamon
Pinch Ground Cloves

1/3-1/2 cup Cajeta (Goats milk caramel)
*You can use Agave nectar or coconut sugar, but it does affect the color. Also add 1 tsp tapioca starch if you choose to use Agave Nectar.
1) Before starting, make sure that your can of coconut milk is cold enough that when you open it, it is mostly solid. You will end up using the solid part and tossing the water. I use the Golden Star brand and end up with only 1-2 TBSP of water in the bottom of the can.
2) The first 3 ingredients are the Sweetened Condensed milk substitute. Rather than boiling the rice milk to condense it, it is just so much easier to condense it by adding rice flour to it- Mix rice flour into COLD rice milk and then bring to boil over medium heat stirring constantly.

3) When mixture thickens remove from heat and add sugar mixing until fully dissolved and then add the solid coconut cream/milk and stir until smooth.
4) Put eggs in medium bowl and whisk together before adding the warm milks mixture, cinnamon, and cloves.
5) Spread cajeta over the bottom of a 9 inch pie pan.

6) Pour the contents of the bowl over the cajeta and bake 325 for about 60 minutes or til fork comes out clean when poked in the middle of the flan. Flan will be dull in appearance with no sheen.
7) Let cool for 30 mins on the counter before placing in refrigerator for an hour. Then remove from pan by placing a plate over the dish and inverting it onto a plate. The cajeta/caramel will now be on top and drooling over the sides. If you think you need more cajeta add it now.
8) Serve cold.
