Chocolate flan – What a distinguish combination!
Chocolate flan, also known as “flan de chocolate” or “chocoflan,” is a decadent dessert that combines the creamy texture of flan with the rich flavor of chocolate cake. This marriage of flavors and textures creates a dessert that is both satisfying and luxurious.
Chocolate flan is visually striking, with distinct layers of chocolate cake and creamy flan. When sliced and served, the contrast between the dark chocolate cake and the caramelized caramel sauce creates an eye-catching presentation that is sure to impress.
You can also make your own chocoflan with the following detail recipe:
Ingredients:
For the caramel:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
For the chocolate cake:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
For the flan:
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a large roasting pan or baking dish in the oven and fill it with water to create a water bath.
- Prepare Caramel: In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook without stirring until the mixture turns amber in color, about 5-7 minutes. Quickly pour the caramel into a 9-inch round cake pan, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Be careful, as the caramel will be very hot. Set aside to cool and harden.
- Prepare Chocolate Cake Batter: Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the instructions on the box. This typically involves combining the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water, and beating until smooth.
- Pour Cake Batter Over Caramel: Carefully pour the prepared chocolate cake batter over the hardened caramel in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare Flan Mixture: In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Layer Flan Mixture: Gently pour the flan mixture over the chocolate cake batter in the cake pan. The flan mixture will be less dense than the cake batter, so pour it slowly and evenly to avoid mixing the layers too much.
- Bake: Carefully place the cake pan into the preheated oven, setting it inside the water bath. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Cool and Chill: Remove the cake pan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the cake pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to chill and set completely.
- Unmold and Serve: To serve, run a knife around the edge of the cake pan to loosen the flan. Place a serving platter upside down on top of the cake pan, then carefully invert the pan to release the chocolate flan onto the platter. The caramel will create a sauce that drizzles over the dessert. Slice and serve chilled.
Chocolate flan is a versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on various occasions. Whether served as a sweet ending to a special dinner or as a treat for a casual gathering, chocolate flan is sure to delight dessert lovers of all ages.
