Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar (for caramel)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (melted)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it turns into a golden caramel. Carefully pour the caramel into a round flan mold or cake pan, tilting to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate. Blend until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the mixture over the caramel in the flan mold.
- Place the flan mold in a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water to create a water bath.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.
Notes
- Use a metal pan for better caramelization.
- Let the flan chill overnight for the best texture.
- Melt the chocolate chips gently to avoid burning.
