Preparation
- In a saucepan, melt sugar with water over medium heat until it turns a golden amber color; pour immediately into the flan mold and swirl to coat the bottom.
- Blend sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and vanilla until smooth; set aside.
- In a clean blender, combine softened cream cheese, eggs, whole milk, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Carefully pour the chocolate fudge mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold, then slowly pour the cream cheese flan mixture over the chocolate layer.
- Place the flan mold into a larger roasting pan, then fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan mold; bake at 350°F (175°C) for 70-75 minutes or until set.
- Remove the flan from the water bath and cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before inverting onto a serving plate.
Notes
Ensure the flan is completely chilled before attempting to unmold for the best results. A water bath is crucial for even cooking and a smooth texture.
