Chocolate flan

This recipe for chocolate flan is spectacular. I recommend serving it with some crispy sugar cookies and cherries.

  • Prepare 10 molds for individual custards and take out a tray or pyrex mold where the custard molds can be placed on 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 moving) until it turns amber, about 8 minutes.
  • Divide the caramel between the molds of flan, moving the molds so that they are covered with caramel.
  • Put the molds of flan on a pan in the tray or container where they are going to cook in a bain-marie 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 reserve 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 warm milk to the egg mixture.
  • Pass the mixture through a sieve and remove the cinnamon stick.
  • Divide the mixture between the individual flan moldings.
  • Put the molds of flan, on the wet cloth, in the container with water until half of the molds. Cover the container with aluminum foil.
  • Cook the custards until they are hard on the sides and the center remains loose, between 20 and 25 minutes.
  • Remove the flan molds from the container with water and refrigerate the molds with flan for at least two hours. Cover with plastic wrap.
  • To unmold the puddings, put a knife around each mold and pour on a plate.
  • Serve immediately.
