Hey there! Are you looking for a fun, impressive Mexican-inspired dessert? Well, I’ve got just the recipe – these amazing mini chocoflan cakes are sure to impress! The Mini Chocoflan Recipe combines a dense chocolate cake topped with a layer of rich, caramel flan.
The prep is straightforward too. We’ll whip up a simple cake batter using a boxed mix, eggs, oil and water. Then make a sweet blended flan mixture with condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla.
Pour the flan into the molds first, then top with the chocolate cake batter. When baked, you get a two-layer dessert in one. Turn them over onto a plate and the layers magically switch!
These Mini Chocoflan cakes are perfect for parties or get togethers.
Mini Chocoflan Recipe
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup oil
- 1/3 cup water
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare 8-10 mini flan molds or ramekins by greasing well.
Make the flan – In a blender, combine the condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla. Blend until smooth.
Pour the flan mixture into the prepared molds, filling each one about halfway.
Make the cake batter – In a bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and water. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Pour the cake batter over the flan mixture in each mold, filling them to the top.
Bake for 45-50 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean from the center.
After completely cooling, refrigerate for at least two hours.
To serve, run a knife around the edge to loosen and invert each mold onto a plate. Enjoy!
tips I would share for making the Mini Chocoflan recipe:
- Grease the molds very well so the flan and cake layers release easily after baking. Use butter or non-stick spray.
- Tap the filled molds firmly on the counter before baking to release any air bubbles. This prevents holes.
- Use a blender to mix the flan filling ingredients smoothly. This uses air to give the texture a lighter feel.
- Make sure to fill the molds only halfway with flan before adding the cake batter on top.
- Let the filled molds cool completely after baking before chilling. Chilling helps them further set.
- When ready to unmold, run a knife carefully along the edges to help release the flan and cake.
- Invert each mold gently onto a plate and tap the bottom if needed to release the mini chocoflan.
- Keep stored chocoflans refrigerated. Bring to room temperature before serving.
Serving tips I would suggest for the Mini Chocoflan recipe:
- Let the chocoflan come to room temperature before serving so the textures smooth out.
- Carefully run a knife around the edges again before unmolding if chilled for long.
- Gently invert each mini chocoflan onto a small plate or bowl.
- Top with a dollop of whipped cream or drizzle with caramel sauce for extra decadence.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings, powdered sugar, or fresh berries for a pop of color.
- Serve with a fork and knife to cut neat slices through the two layers.
- Offer cups of coffee, hot chocolate, or glasses of milk to complement the chocoflan.
- For parties, decorate the serving platter with sprinkles or candy pieces.
- Keep leftovers covered and chilled for up to 4 days. The flan layer keeps well.
