Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a saucepan, heat milk and cream until just simmering, then remove from heat.
- Add the chopped chocolate to the hot milk mixture and whisk until fully melted and smooth.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until combined.
- Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to temper.
- Strain the custard through a fine sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Divide the custard evenly among ramekins.
- Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides of the ramekins (water bath).
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove ramekins from the water bath and cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
For extra richness, serve chilled flan with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries.
