Step-by-step instructions:

4. In a blender or whisk, combine the sweetened condensed milk, coconut milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend or whisk until smooth.
5. Pour the mixture into the ramekins, dividing it evenly among them.
6. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the rožata is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. Remove the ramekins from the baking dish and let them cool to room temperature.
9. Refrigerate the rožata for at least 2 hours, or until chilled.
10. To serve, run a knife around the edge of each ramekin and invert onto a plate.
