Chocolate Flan

This chocolate flan recipe turns out spectacular. I recommend serving it with some crunchy sugar cookies and cherries.

  • Prepare 10 individual flan molds and take a tray or pyrex dish where the flan molds can be placed over water (in a water bath).
  • To prepare the caramel, mix the sugar and water in a small pot. Wait for it to boil over medium heat. Let it boil (without stirring) until it turns an amber color, about 8 minutes.
  • Divide the caramel among the flan molds, swirling the molds to coat them with caramel.
  • Place the flan molds on a towel in the tray or container where they will cook in a water bath in the oven.
  • To prepare the flan, put 1 1/2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of cream in a large pot. Add the chocolate, the cinnamon stick, and the sugar.
  • Wait for the mixture to boil and reduce the heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs, coffee liqueur, vanilla, and almond extract.
  • Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture.
  • Strain the mixture and remove the cinnamon stick.
  • Divide the mixture among the individual flan molds.
  • Place the flan molds on the damp cloth in the container with water until halfway up the molds. Cover the container with aluminum foil.
  • Cook the flans until the sides are firm and the center is still loose, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove the flan molds from the water container and refrigerate the molds with flan for at least two hours. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • To unmold the flans, run a knife around each mold and pour onto a plate.
  • Serve immediately.
