Equipment

  • Blender or whisk
  • 9-inch round mold or cake pan
  • Saucepan
  • Baking dish (for water bath)
  • Knife (for unmolding)

Ingredients

  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 1 cup sugar (for caramel)

Instructions

  • Heat the sugar over medium heat in a saucepan until it becomes a deep amber caramel; pour into the mold.
  • In a blender, combine eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla essence; blend until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture over the caramel in the mold.
  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F); place the mold in a larger baking dish and fill with hot water halfway up the sides of the mold; bake for 50 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
  • Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight); run a knife around the edges and flip onto a plate.

Notes

To prevent cracks on the surface, avoid opening the oven door while baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze individual slices for longer storage. Garnish with whipped cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra flair. For a lighter version, consider using low-fat milks or plant-based alternatives.
