This was our dessert last evening at our Sunday family supper. It's called a German-ChocoFlan. A client brought some into work for us, and I begged for the recipe. Here's where I have to apologize, because I cannot share her recipe with you. The one she gave me is her own creation, and I didn't ask permission to share it.
But here is a link to a similar recipe and its video. Both of the recipes (the one in the preceding link and my client's) are baked in a water bath. That was a little nerve wracking with Rudy curiously running around my feet
And I would suggest baking it the day before you want to serve it, since you have to completely cool before turning it out of the pan; and you want to chill it and store in the refrigerator.
Now, the texture of mine turned out much differently than our client's. Her choco layer was more of a cake texture, and both of my layers were more of a cheesecake texture. I'm pretty sure I know what I misunderstood in the recipe that caused that. But, hey, I love cheesecake, so I really like how it turned out. I will try it again the way I think she intended, and then I may just have to try it again the exact way I did it this time. ;)
This reminds me of ChocoFlan. I love it, a chocolate cake with a flan layer on top. It is precarious with the bain-marie! I didn't know there was a German version.
ReplyDeleteLooks good, sounds interesting to make too. Thanks for sharing and the links.
ReplyDeleteYou need to convince your client to let you share her recipe! :-D That looks and sounds delish!
