Adding chocolate to a traditional flan recipe pushes this dessert experience to a whole new level. Creamy, velvety and intensely chocolaty, this flan is a chocolate lovers dream. We especially loved the mix of flavors of the burnt caramel paired with deep, rich chocolate.
Topped with a single, salted Marcona almond, this dessert verges on perfection. Served with an espresso, ripe raspberries and a wedge of queso Manchego, Chocolate Flan could be your new favorite merienda.
Baking the flan in a pan of water is critical for a creamy result. Eggs become rubbery when exposed to high heat, and the water acts as an insulator, gently protecting the texture of your flan.
