Chocolate flan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare your ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   You can use any molds for flan - silicone for cupcakes, ceramic ramekins for soufflé or regular cups, as well as fragrant cups made from orange peel.

3. STEP 3

   

   To make cups, cut the washed orange in half and then remove the core using a teaspoon.

4. STEP 4

   

   If the molds are ceramic or silicone, grease them with a thin layer of butter and sprinkle with cocoa (it will look like a French shirt). Turn on the oven to heat up to 200 degrees.

5. STEP 5

   

   Crush the chocolate into a small bowl and add the butter. Add salt (2 pinches is enough, salt will highlight the sweetness).

6. STEP 6

   

   Melt chocolate with butter and salt. A water bath, low-temperature oven or microwave will do.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cool the chocolate mixture slightly and transfer it to a mixing bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   In a separate bowl, mix sugar and eggs.

9. STEP 9

   

   Beat the sugar and eggs into a fluffy foam. The sugar should dissolve.

10. STEP 10

    

    Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture in a thin stream and stir constantly.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add flavorings (vanilla and rum).

12. STEP 12

    

    Add orange juice (or cognac). Mix well.

13. STEP 13

    

    Sift in the flour and stir until smooth. The flan mixture is ready.

14. STEP 14

    

    Divide the resulting mixture into molds.

15. STEP 15

    

    Do not fill completely, because... The flan rises as it bakes.

16. STEP 16

    

    Bake at 200 degrees for 4 to 15 minutes.

17. STEP 17

    

    After 4 minutes there is liquid hot chocolate inside, for those who like it.

18. STEP 18

    

    And after 15 minutes the flan is a slightly moist cake, fragrant and just as tasty. Using the trial method, select your option for the thickness of the center.
