Step by Step Directions
Preheat oven to 170 C and lightly grease a flan mold with butter.
In a saucepan, heat sugar and water over medium heat without stirring until it turns into a deep golden caramel.
Carefully pour the caramel into the flan mold and tilt to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool.
In a blender, combine Ferrero Rocher chocolates, condensed milk, whole milk, heavy cream, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Blend until completely smooth with no visible chocolate pieces.
Pour the mixture gently over the set caramel in the mold.
Place the mold in a larger baking dish and fill the dish with hot water halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the flan is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
To serve, run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate.
Pro Tips
For Smooth Texture
Blend the mixture thoroughly to ensure the Ferrero Rocher melts fully into the custard.
