Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Start by preparing the caramel: Melt the sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it turns golden. Carefully pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

In a separate saucepan, warm the sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, heavy cream, and water. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chunks, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Beat the eggs in a bowl until smooth. Gradually whisk in the chocolate mixture until well combined. Strain this mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

Place the dish in a larger baking pan. Pour hot water into the baking pan around the flan dish to a depth of about one inch. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the flan is just set.

Allow to cool in the water bath, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert onto a plate.
