How are you friends? Welcome to my channel.
Today we are going to make some impossible cakes or individual chocoflanes without oven, imagine.
At the end of this video you will be ready to prepare this dessert.

To make my chocoflanes I will be using two types of molds during the video.
The first is this metal one, they measure 11 centimeters in diameter and what I like the most about these is that they unmold super easy.
And the second is this other one that is made of plastic, well, but it is a bakable plastic, it is a special plastic.
The shape is super pretty but it tends to stick and they are very fragile.
We are also going to use a pot, a casserole, a tray, anything that is thin that we can put on the fire.
And obviously where our molds fit.
Now, let's go straight to the recipe.
Step number 1, the caramel.
For that we need half a cup of regular sugar or the one you need according to the amount of chocoflanes you are going to make.
We put it to heat over medium heat and you can leave it there or you can stir it a little, no problem.
The idea is that it is completely undone until it reaches this totally liquid consistency and with a dark brown color.
Don't leave it too long because it can burn and taste ugly.
As soon as it takes this color, you are going to empty it into your molds.
You have a few seconds to do it very carefully because the caramel is very dangerous and a burn is quite ugly.
So carefully empty it into your molds that will be hot so don't touch them until they cool down.
Or you can also wear gloves, of course.
Once the caramel has hardened, we reserve our molds for later.
We will prepare the flan right away.
For that we need a can of evaporated milk, a can of condensed milk,
4 large eggs at room temperature and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
We put all the ingredients in the blender.
We start with the evaporated milk.
If you don't get it in your countries, you can make it easily.
Here in the corner league I leave you the recipe.
We also add the condensed milk, the 4 eggs and the 2 teaspoons of vanilla.
We blend and reserve the mixture while we prepare the chocolate part.
This way we will take advantage of it so that the foam comes off and our flan comes out better.
You can also add half cream cheese to the mixture and you will get a creamier flan.
Now we will prepare the part of the chocolate cake.
For that we need a box of already prepared chocolate-flavored flour of the brand you like the most.
In addition to a cup and a quarter of milk, 3 large eggs at room temperature,
4 tablespoons of butter plus the rest of vegetable oil
to complete the half cup of oil, which is what my box asks for in the instructions.
And now we are going to put all these ingredients in a container.
We place the 3 eggs, the milk and the mixture of butter and oil.
For this I am going to melt the butter, I did it in the microwave
and we are going to complete the rest with the vegetable oil.
I love this combination because the butter gives flavor to the cake or cake,
but the oil provides moisture, so both have an important function.
We beat the ingredients a little and now we are ready to add the content of the box,
which is this already prepared chocolate flour, which already contains the sugar,
cocoa and other ingredients that are required for the cake to come out well.
We are going to add the flour little by little until we incorporate it very well,
but without overwhelming the mixture so that our cake is softer.
The prepared flour is used a lot for chocoflan because it has the perfect consistency
to separate from the flan and it is also very easy to use.
But you can also make your chocolate cake from scratch if you like,
the idea is that it has more or less this same texture.
Since we have our mixtures ready, we are going to finish preparing our molds.
To do this, we grease perfectly with butter, we can help ourselves with a kitchen napkin
and remember that the caramel for this moment should already be hardened and totally cold.
The magic of the impossible cake consists in that we are going to place first the chocolate part
and then the flan part and these are going to invert by themselves,
leaving the flan at the bottom and the chocolate cake at the top.
Right now I will show you what the trick is to change.
To know how much mixture we should put, the important thing and what you should know
is that the flan does not grow, it stays exactly where you put it,
on the other hand the chocolate cake, yes, it doubles its size.
Very well, now we are going to start putting the first layer, which is that of the chocolate cake.
Remember that this is going to double its size approximately and it is going to fluff,
so you have to put a little less than the height we want finally.
If you want your mini chocoflans to look the same,
then it is important to measure each of the mixtures so the chocoflans will be of the same height.
Then we are going to place the part of the flan and the trick so that this
inverts perfectly or in a faster way is that they choose a point of the mixture
and there they empty the flan suddenly opening a little hole in the chocolate mixture
and that is when the magic of the inversion of the mixtures happens,
this happens due to the difference in densities between one and another mixture.
Isn't it fascinating? With the rest and a few more minutes,
the little hole closes by itself and it is not necessary to do anything.
Later we are going to cover each of our molds with a few pieces of aluminum,
if we are using individual molds, in the case that you are using
complete molds such as the tray type or tray type where several molds come together,
then you are going to cover the entire tray with aluminum foil.
The main objective is that the water from the bain-marie does not fall on them
because they can spoil our desserts.
We are ready to cook our chocoflans, we will do this in the bain-marie stove.
For the bain-marie, the water should already be hot
and it should reach a height no higher than half of our molds,
in this way we reduce the risk of water getting into them.
We accommodate very well and now we are going to cover this pot to make the effect of the oven
that we are not using, if you are using a mold or a pot that does not have a lid,
you can cover with aluminum foil and there is no problem.
We cook over medium heat for about an hour,
when we believe that our desserts are ready, we open and check.
The truth is that it is immediately seen if it is already well cooked,
but to be completely sure we are going to do the toothpick test,
we insert it and it should come out this way or completely clean.
We let it cool to room temperature and then we can refrigerate for a couple of hours or all night.
Finally, the time has come to unmold our impossible cakes.
And look what a wonderful dessert we have made.
Now we are only going to make a super easy and quick decoration
with some fresh fruits that go perfectly with this dessert.
I will be using a little bit of golden dye, which is an edible vegetable dye.
I will also use a diluent that will be a drop of alcohol,
here as you can see it, that after placing our favorite fruits,
we are going to give some small strokes, I am going to do it here in this blue dye to give more contrast
and make it look very nice, I love how it looks, it seems to me that it looks very elegant
and it is perfect for a dessert table for example.
What do you think of this idea?
It seems to me that the small details are what make the difference in what we do.
And if you are looking for ideas for sale, what do you think if we turn it into a lunchbox cake?
What are those super fashion cakes that are sold in a hamburger box?
It can also be a nice detail for a special person.
Generally there is a waxed paper on the bottom of the dessert,
I will be using this flower engraving that I really liked
and we are going to put it on the bottom to decorate a little more.
In this way we can decorate our dessert, put some detail, the teaspoon,
a happy birthday letter or anything you can think of to improve the presentation.
Let's try our delicate dessert, look how delicious, how beautiful it looks.
Who would not like to buy or receive a detail like this?
At least I do.
And look, let's see how it looks inside, there is our flan,
the caramel has drained in the part of the chocolate and it tastes delicious.
It is a perfect combination of flavors.
Feel free to prepare it, gather your ingredients
and you will see that it is not so difficult and much less impossible.
See you soon, see you in the next video.
