Ingredients
  

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)

Equipment

  • 9-inch round cake pan or flan mold
  • Large baking dish (for water bath)
  • Blender or hand mixer
  • Saucepan (for caramel)
  • Whisk or spatula
  • Fine-mesh sieve (optional, for smoother texture)

Method
 

  1. Pour 1 cup of sugar into a small saucepan over medium heat without stirring, swirling gently as it melts until golden.
  1. Immediately pour the melted caramel into your flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
  1. In a blender, combine condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla; blend until smooth.
  1. Let the caramel cool for 5 minutes, then pour the flan mixture over it.
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and set the flan mold in a larger baking dish; add hot water to the outer dish halfway up the sides of the mold.
  1. Bake for 50 minutes or until the center slightly jiggles; cover loosely with foil if needed.
  1. Let the flan cool on a wire rack for 1–2 hours, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  1. Run a thin knife around the edges and flip onto a serving plate. Serve ice-cold.

Notes

For extra creaminess, add one additional egg yolk to the mixture. Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Don't skip the water bath to ensure a smooth texture; this prevents overcooking. If you're missing ingredients, there are easy substitution options for most. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; the flavors improve after a day.
