How to Make Homemade Chocoflan

Making chocoflan is simple. Follow these steps to create this stunning dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1 chocolate cake mixing box
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup of oil
• 1 cup of water
• 1 can of condensed milk
• 1 can of evaporated milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 cup of sugar

Directions:

1. Prepare the Candy: In a pan over medium heat, break the sugar until you get a golden candy. Pour the candy at the bottom of a mold and let it cool.
2. Prepare the Cake Mixture: Follow the instructions on the box and mix the ingredients until you get a homogeneous mass. Pour the mixture over the caramel in the mold.
3. Prepare the Flan: Mix condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla until well blended. Pour this flan mixture on top of the cake dough; it will separate during baking.
4. Bake in a Water Bath: Cover the mold with foil. Place the mold inside a tray of hot water, filling it halfway up the mold. Bake at 175 °C (350 °F) for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a stick inserted into the flan comes out clean.
5. Cool, Refrigerate, and Unmold: Let the chocoflan cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Run a knife around the edges and turn it over onto a large plate. For an extra touch, decorate with chopped nuts, whipped cream, or more caramel.

How to Serve Homemade Chocoflan

How to Store Homemade Chocoflan

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Place the chocoflan in an airtight container to keep it fresh. It can last up to 3 days in the fridge. Make sure to cover it well to avoid absorbing any odors from other foods.

Tips to Make Homemade Chocoflan
