Chocolate Peanut Butter Flan
Chocolate Peanut Butter Flan is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of chocolate and peanut butter in a creamy, custard-like texture. This dessert is perfect for any occasion and is sure to impress your guests.
To make this delicious dessert, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water and cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture turns a deep amber color. Pour the caramel into a 6-inch ramekin and swirl to coat the bottom and sides.
In a separate bowl, melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips together in the microwave or over a double boiler. In a separate saucepan, heat the cream and milk until just simmering. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Add the melted peanut butter and chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Pour the custard mixture into the prepared ramekin and place it in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekin. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still jiggles slightly in the center.
Remove the ramekin from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the ramekin with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the ramekin and invert the flan onto a plate. The caramel will drizzle over the top of the flan, creating a beautiful presentation. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Flan is a rich and creamy dessert that is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is a classic flavor pairing that is always a crowd-pleaser.
