How to make Two-Chocolate Flan

For the Semi-Sweet Chocolate Flan

  1. Step 1

    Dissolve one packet of unflavored gelatin according to the package instructions and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a saucepan, combine 250 mL of heavy cream and 250 mL of milk. Add the semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces.

  3. Step 3

    Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts completely. Be careful not to let the mixture boil.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from heat and stir in the dissolved gelatin, mixing well.

  5. Step 5

    Pour the mixture into a tube mold. If using a metal mold, lightly moisten it with water beforehand. Silicone molds or microwave-safe molds can also be used.

For the White Chocolate Flan

  1. Step 1

    In a saucepan, combine the remaining 250 mL of heavy cream and 250 mL of milk. Add the white chocolate, chopped into small pieces.

  2. Step 2

    Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate melts completely. Avoid boiling the mixture.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in the second packet of dissolved unflavored gelatin, mixing well.

  4. Step 4

    Gently pour this mixture over the semi-sweet chocolate flan, which should already be firm. To avoid mixing the layers, pour the mixture over the back of a spoon held just above the surface of the flan.

Final Steps

  1. Step 1
