Rich Mexican Custard
"No, not flan. This is flavored like Mexican hot chocolate! The addition of cream cheese makes it even richer & creamier.
**HINT: my stand mixer did not combine the ingredients enough for my liking. I recommend a whisk or hand held electric mixer where you have more control.**
Using cream cheese makes it a bit thicker and will hold up the mini chocolate bits. When they melt they give a bit of a marbled effect. :)
Developed for RSC#15. Enjoy!"

Oh my was this yummy. It was truly decadent and a chocolate lover's dream. Made for ZWT8. -
I love flan but this is just as good!! A floating layer of chocolate over a creamy custard base - totally yum. I admit I did add more chocolate chips but it was worth it. Made for ZWT 8-Food of the Gods Challenge.
