Ingredients

• 200 grams sugar
• 395 grams sweetened condensed milk
• 240 milliliters whole milk
• 240 milliliters heavy cream
• 60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 5 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place a large roasting pan filled with an inch of water into the oven to create a water bath (bain-marie).

Step 2

To make the caramel, heat the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until dissolved. Allow the mixture to boil undisturbed until it turns a golden amber color, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

Quickly pour the caramel into a 9-inch bundt or flan mold, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the chocolate mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold, using a spoon to break any foam on the surface.

Step 6

Place the flan mold carefully into the preheated water bath in the oven. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 7

Remove the flan from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 8

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the mold to loosen the flan. Place a large serving plate over the mold and carefully invert the flan onto the plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.

Step 9

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the decadent Brazilian Chocolate Flan!
