step by step

Method

  1. Make the caramel

    • Melt the sugar with the water in a saucepan over medium heat until it turns a golden caramel.
    • Pour the caramel into the baking dish and tilt to coat the bottom evenly.
    Step 1

  2. Melt the chocolate

    • Warm the milk in a saucepan over low heat.
    • Add the chopped dark chocolate and stir until completely melted and smooth.

  3. Prepare the custard

    • Whisk the eggs with the sugar until pale.
    • Whisk in the cocoa powder, the vanilla extract and the warm chocolate milk until fully combined.
    • Strain the mixture through a sieve into the dish over the caramel.
    Step 3

  4. Bake in a water bath

    • Place the dish in a larger roasting pan and fill it with hot water halfway up the sides.
    • Bake at 160 °C until the flan is just set with a slight wobble in the center.
    Step 4

  5. Chill and unmold

    • Let the flan cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until completely cold.
    • Run a knife around the edge and invert onto a plate so the caramel runs over the top.
