Method
- Place the sugar in a non-stick pan over medium heat and stir until it melts into a smooth, amber liquid to create caramel.
- Immediately pour the hot caramel into a well-greased flan mold and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
- Blend the flan ingredients (eggs, milks, cream cheese, and vanilla) until smooth and pale yellow; pour over the caramel in the mold.
- Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil and place it in a roasting pan, adding hot water to create a bain-marie.
- Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25 minutes for the flan layer to set.
- Prepare chocolate cake batter according to the box instructions and carefully pour it over the partially baked flan layer.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 40 minutes until the cake layer is done; let cool completely on a wire rack before unmolding.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute whole milk for half cream and use less sugar in the flan mixture. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother texture in the flan mixture. This chocoflan keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It's best not to freeze it, as the texture may change upon thawing. Serve with extra caramel sauce and fresh berries for a delightful presentation!
