This Mexican-style flan is a decadent and delicious treat that is perfect for special occasions, holidays, or any day of the week. This easy-to-make recipe is sure to become a family favorite!

Ingredients

For the Flan:

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Caramel:

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Instructions

Making the Caramel

To make the caramel, combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the mixture boil for 3-4 minutes, or until it turns a deep golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Pour the caramel into the base of a 9-inch round cake pan or flan mold. Allow the caramel to cool and set, about 10 minutes.

Making the Flan

In a large bowl, whisk together the condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Add the chocolate chips and stir until they are evenly distributed. Pour the mixture over the cooled caramel. Place the cake pan in a larger pan filled with 1-inch of hot water. This will create a water bath for the flan.

Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the flan is set. Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate and let cool completely before serving.
