Chocolate-rum flan
6 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | can | Sweetened condensed milk, 14.5oz |
| 1 | can | Evaporated milk, 12 oz |
| 2 | Eggs | |
| 6 | Egg yolks | |
| ¼ | cup | Chocolate syrup |
| 2 | tablespoons | Dark rum |
| 1 | cup | Sugar to caramelize the pan |
Directions
Combine the milks, eggs, egg yolks, chocolate, and rum in a food processor or blender and process well. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Heat the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has melted and is a light amber colour, about 20 minutes. Pour the caramel into 6 individual 8-oz ramekins or molds, or a 9x4 inch loaf pan. Pour the flan mixture over the caramel. Place in a water bath and bake uncovered for 15 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue baking until set, when a knife inserted comes out clean, about 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let cool completely. To serve: Run a knife around the edges of the ramekins or mold and invert the flans onto a serving platter or individual plates.
