For the Custard:

4 large eggs
1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

Prepare the Caramel: Heat sugar in a saucepan until melted and golden. Pour into a 9-inch baking dish and tilt to coat the bottom. Set aside.

Bake the Flan: Pour custard over caramel. Place the dish in a water bath and bake at 350°F for 50-60 minutes.
Chill and Serve: Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 4 hours. Invert onto a plate to serve.

Notes

Make Ahead: Flan can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.

Substitutions: Use dark chocolate instead of cocoa powder for a richer flavor.

Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Serving Tip: Serve with fresh berries or whipped cream for added flair.

Water Bath: Ensure the water bath doesn’t boil during baking to prevent cracks.
