Materials

Preparation

• The caramel:
  Pour the sugar and water into a saucepan over low/medium heat and wait for the caramel to form. Stir if necessary.
• When the caramel is golden, remove from the heat and pour everything into the mold. Place the mold in the fridge while preparing the other two mixtures.
  
• The flan:
  Mix together eggs, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, cream and milk. Set aside.
• The soft chocolate cake:
  Start by beating the egg whites until stiff, then add the sugar little by little. Reserve the resulting meringue.
  
• In another bowl, whiten the egg yolks with the sugar. Then add the milk and oil and mix well.
• Add the dry ingredients by sieving them: flour, cornstarch, unsweetened cocoa powder, yeast, baking soda and salt. Mix everything well.
  
• Finally add the meringue prepared in step 4. Incorporate gently and in several batches using a spatula.
• Remove the mold from the refrigerator. Pour the flan mixture (dough) onto the caramel using a sieve so that the dough remains smooth.
  
• Then add the chocolate cake batter on top then place the mold on a hollow baking tray and pour boiling water into the plate to create a bain-marie.
• Bake the choco flan for 1 hour at 320°F (160°C).
  
• Place the flan choco in the fridge overnight before unmolding and enjoy!
  It's ready. Enjoy!
