Xoco-9838

Choco Flan, also known as the “Impossible Cake” is my new favorite dessert. I’ve had my eyes on this flan for months and barley tried it this past week at Rick Bayless’s new addition Xoco in Chicago. All I can say is that it’s just as amazing as I imagined it to be. I’ve been procrastinating on ordering it since September because I’ve been intimated by it and afraid it may not be as good as hyped up in my head. It definitely did not disappoint. I love flan and the fact that chocolate cake + flan existed together was a winner. The chocolate cake was dense and chocolaty and complemented the creamy flan on top. What really stood out was  the Cajeta (Goat Milk Caramel Sauce), it was overpowered with mexican cinnamon and really added to the whole cake. It’s honestly my new favorite cake and I can not wait to make it at home. Lucky for us, Rick Bayless has the recipe for the dessert on his website. Enjoy!
