Description
Lovers of this popular Mexican dessert know that chocoflan is a bit of a wonder: It's both a rich, fudgy chocolate cake and a luscious cream cheese-based flan. In the oven, the two layers magically swap places due to the cake being lighter than the flan. This delightful detail is what has given chocoflan the name “pastel imposible,” or “impossible cake.” Baked gently in a water bath, chocoflan needs at least an hour and a half in the oven and then an overnight chill, so plan accordingly. It's worth thinking ahead to experience this unique dessert.
