In a bowl, combine the eggs, whole milk, condensed milk, vanilla extract, and cream cheese. Beat well until you achieve a smooth and homogeneous cream.
Grease and flour a 24 cm (9.5-inch) diameter mold. Pour the prepared chocolate cake mix into the mold, following the instructions on the package.
Gently and slowly pour the cream cheese mixture into the center of the chocolate cake batter.
Bake the chocoflan in a water bath for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out completely clean.
Remove the chocoflan from the oven and the water bath. Let it cool for two hours, then refrigerate for an additional four hours before unmolding.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Use dark chocolate cake mix for the best flavor combination.
Refrigerating the chocoflan for at least four hours helps it set properly and makes unmolding easier.
Can I use a different type of cream cheese?
While Philadelphia cream cheese is recommended for its texture and flavor, you can use another brand if needed.
What is a water bath, and why is it necessary?
A water bath involves placing the mold in a larger pan filled with water. It ensures even cooking and prevents the dessert from drying out.
Can I use a homemade chocolate cake mix?
Yes, you can use a homemade chocolate cake mix as long as it has a similar consistency to store-bought mixes.
How do I know the chocoflan is fully baked?
Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the chocoflan is ready.
Can I serve the chocoflan warm?
It is best served chilled after refrigeration to achieve the right texture and flavor.
