  • 3.5oz chocolate, good quality
  • 1.5 sticks unsalted butter
  • 7 eggs
  • 3/4 c sugar
  • 1 c flour, sifted
  • 1/4 c cocoa powder
  • 1 t baking powder
  • 1 3/4 c milk
  • 14oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 8oz cream cheese, room temperature

Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a Bundt pan.

For the brownie layer, melt the chocolate with butter in the microwave in 10-15 second increments, stirring between each until smooth. In a bowl, beat 3 eggs with sugar, and add to the chocolate/butter mixture. Gradually add the sifted flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder, mixing thoroughly. Pour into the Bundt pan (don’t worry about the order – the brownie will float to the top as it cooks).

In a separate bowl, beat the milk, remaining 4 eggs, cream cheese, and condensed milk. Pour this mixture into the Bundt pan on top of the brownie layer, and cover with aluminum foil.

Place on a middle rack in the oven. On the rack below, place a pan or dish with water (this will help the brownie and flan cook evenly. Bake at 350F for 90 minutes.

Remove from oven and allow to cool. Place in the fridge for at least 3 hours. Flip pan upside down onto a plate to unmold and serve cold.
