This is delicious and so easy. I made this for a work party and it was devoured. I also made it for a New Year;s Day Mexican fiesta and every guest asked for the recipe.

Just a little extra help on the recipe on the last step. You'll need an extra bigger pan than the one you have your mixture or batter on. You'll need that in order to have the traditional mexican chocoflan taste. You'll need to place the pan with the mixture or batter on top of the other bigger pan and place both of them on the oven. Once place on the oven you'll need to pour water on the bottom pan; which is the bigger pan. You'll need to fill it up half way of the other pan. That's call baño maria. And if I'm right that was what you were missing on your recipe. To have that taste others been looking for. And put it after being bake on the fridge over night or 3 to 4 hrs. And another thing you don't really need the cream cheese you can do it without it. ;) Your recipe is a great and easy recipe to follow, thanks. I just wanted to give you a tip.

Thanks susie in texas, i am making a chocflan for easter tomorrow and its in the oven as i write this, but i was so confused as to how the flan would end up on the top layer if every recipe calls for the cajeta, chocolate cake then flan... lets cross our fingers that it does in fact switch places! =)

FANTASTIC!!!! Not only was it fun to make, beautiful to look at and it also does a disappearance act right before your eyes. But was it good you ask. Well to be honest I don't know, it didn't last long enough for me to get a piece, made it for my grandsons 9th birthday party. But judging from the recipes requests and the dirty little chocolate months I would think its safe enough to give it a thumbs up. Have it on the menu for just the family again next week end. I love recipes like this.......on the unusual side. Thank you Bella for sharing.
