Chocoflan | Pudding Cake

 Chocoflan

 Mexican Dessert Chocoflan.

Creme caramel is a creamy and rich custard made with eggs and milk. This dessert is a delicious fusion of a creamy, silky crème caramel and a rich chocolate cake for what is known as ChocoFlan.

While the classic Crème Caramel is a French dessert, the ChocoFlan is actually a Mexican dessert. Since the French had colonized Lebanon as part of the French Mandate for a couple decades in the early twentieth century, the French culture had a significant influence on the Lebanese society. In particular, the language and food influence is still present in the country today. In every Lebanese cookbook I own from Lebanon, both crème caramel, and this chocoflan recipes are in them. The choco-flan is typically called Crème caramel cake or chocolate cake in these cookbooks.
