1. Place 1 tablespoon coconut in each of 2 ungreased 6-ounce custard cups. Drizzle 1 teaspoon ice-cream topping over each. Beat remaining ingredients with egg beater or wire whisk; pour into custard cups.
2. Place round baking rack or steamer rack in 10-inch skillet. Place custard cups on rack. Pour boiling water into skillet until it comes almost to the top of the rack. (Water should not touch custard cups.)
Cover skillet and steam over medium heat 11 to 12 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between center and edge comes out clean. (Watch flans closely the last few minutes of steaming.)
3. Remove cups from skillet; let stand 10 minutes. Loosen sides of flans from cups, using sharp knife. Unmold flans onto dessert plates. Serve warm.
