ChocoFlan

One of my favorite desserts has always been flan. I really enjoy it but I rarely eat it because it does contain a lot of sugar and my Husband does not like this dessert. I always wanted to try making it homemade, but with only myself I never really had the desire to make it. Thankfully my family came to visit me and I knew they do enjoy this treat just as much as I do. So I took advantage and made a flan but with a twist. I found a recipe on Youtube that I loved because it was so easy to follow. This dish will take about 2-3 hours, so prepare well. The things you will need are...

A box of chocolate cake mix
About 9 eggs
Oil
1 can of Condensed milk
1 can of Evaporated milk
Vanilla
1/2-1 cup of Sugar
2 baking dishes
Heat up your oven at 375 degrees

1. Make the cake mix. Once the mixed well, set aside.

2. In a blender add six eggs, the condensed milk, the evaporated milk, and a spoonful of vanilla.

3.Blend thoroughly and set aside.

4. In a pan add the 1/2-1 cup of sugar on high heat.

5. Mix the sugar until it is melted, but be careful that it does not burn or you burn yourself.

6. Once the sugar is all melted, add it to a baking dish and spread it around as fast as possible. The sugar will harden.

7. Add butter around to the rest of the dish so the chocolate mixture does not stick.

8. You can do this step in two ways. Number one, you can pour the flan mixture first then the cake mix. Or number two, you can add the cake mixture first then the flan mixture. If you do it the second way, the flan mixture will descend to the bottom but you will need to wait until its all at the bottom before baking. I did it the first method, and it worked perfectly.

9. Place the baking dish in another baking dish and add water half way up. Cover with foil.

This step is called Baño Maria or water bath and its done so the bottom flan mixture bakes fully.

10. Place in oven and let bake for about an hour. After an hour, with a toothpick or fork check if the cake and flan are baked. If not, leave it in for another hour. Mine took 2 hours to fully bake.

11. After the 2 hours are done, check if the chocoflan is baked thoroughly. If the fork or toothpick come out clean, then its ready.

12. Remove from oven and let cool before removing it from the baking dish. Once cooled down, flip the baking dish over a plate and let the chocflan slide onto it.
