Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare Your Pan

Generously grease a 9-inch Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray. This crucial step ensures your Cookie Choco Flan releases perfectly after baking.

For extra insurance against sticking, you can lightly dust the greased pan with flour, tapping out any excess.

Step 2 — Create the Chocolate Cookie Layer

Press one package of Nestle Toll House chocolate chip cookie dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared Bundt pan. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to form a compact, uniform layer.

This layer will become the rich, chewy base for your flan, so make sure it covers the entire bottom surface.

Step 3 — Make the Flan Custard

In a blender, combine one can of sweetened condensed milk, one can of evaporated milk, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 4 tablespoons of Nestle Nido powdered milk. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and frothy.

Using Nestle Nido adds a creamy, rich depth to the custard that is essential for an authentic flan texture.

Step 4 — Combine the Layers

Slowly and carefully pour the blended flan mixture over the layer of cookie dough in the Bundt pan. The custard will be thin and will likely fully cover the dough.

Do not stir or mix the layers; the magic of this recipe is that they will swap places during baking, with the flan ending up on the bottom.

Step 5 — Prepare the Water Bath

Place the filled Bundt pan inside a larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into the larger pan until it comes about halfway up the sides of the Bundt pan.

This water bath (or baño maría) is non-negotiable. It ensures gentle, even heat for a silky-smooth flan texture without curdling.

Step 6 — Bake to Perfection

Carefully transfer the setup to a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes.

The flan is done when the top is firm to the touch and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center may still have a slight jiggle, which is perfect.

Step 7 — Cool Completely

Remove the Bundt pan from the water bath and let it cool on a wire rack until it reaches room temperature. This gradual cooling helps the structure set.

Once cooled, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This chilling step is key for clean slicing.

Step 8 — Unmold and Serve

To unmold, run a thin knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a large serving plate upside-down on top of the Bundt pan.

Holding the plate and pan together firmly, quickly flip them over. The Cookie Choco Flan should release onto the plate, revealing the beautiful layered effect.

Healthier Alternatives

• Protein powder instead of Nestlé Nido — Adds extra protein while maintaining creamy texture with vanilla or chocolate flavor notes.
• Coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener — Lower glycemic alternatives that provide caramel-like sweetness perfect for flan.
• Almond flour cookies — Gluten-free option that adds nutty flavor and works well with the chocolate components.
• Coconut milk or almond milk — Dairy-free alternatives that create a rich, creamy custard texture.
• Dark chocolate chips with reduced sugar — Lower-carb chocolate option that intensifies the chocolate flavor while cutting sweetness.
• Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese — Adds protein and tanginess while reducing fat content in the flan layer.
• Sea salt instead of regular salt — Lower sodium option that enhances chocolate flavors with mineral notes.
• Avocado oil or coconut oil — Healthier fat alternatives that work well in both cookie and flan components.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with strong coffee or espresso to balance the rich chocolate and caramel flavors
• Serve chilled for special occasions like birthdays, holidays, or dinner parties
• Garnish with fresh berries and mint leaves for a beautiful color contrast

This Cookie Choco Flan makes an impressive dessert centerpiece that combines the best of cookies and custard in one stunning treat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Mistake: Using cold ingredients straight from the fridge. Fix: Let your dairy and eggs reach room temperature for a smoother, more homogenous flan batter.
• Mistake: Overmixing the flan custard and creating air bubbles. Fix: Gently stir the mixture just until combined to ensure a silky, dense texture.
• Mistake: Baking the flan in a water bath that isn’t hot. Fix: Pour boiling water into the roasting pan for a gentle, even heat that prevents curdling.
• Mistake: Not letting the caramel set before adding the cookie layer. Fix: Allow the caramel to harden completely at the bottom of the pan to create a defined layer.
• Mistake: Underbaking the flan, leading to a loose, soupy center. Fix: The flan is done when the center is set but still has a slight, gentle jiggle.
• Mistake: Inverting the Cookie Choco Flan while it’s still warm. Fix: Chill it thoroughly for several hours or overnight so the layers hold their shape.
• Mistake: Spreading the cookie dough layer too thickly. Fix: Press a single, even layer of cookie dough to prevent a dense, undercooked bottom.
• Mistake: Skipping the step of covering the pan with foil. Fix: Always tent the pan with foil to prevent the top from browning or cracking during baking.
• Mistake: Rushing the caramel and burning the sugar. Fix: Cook the sugar over medium heat, swirling the pan until it turns a deep amber color.

Storing Tips

• Fridge: Store in an airtight container up to 5 days. Ensure it cools to room temperature before refrigerating.
• Freezer: Wrap slices tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
• Reheat: Warm individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until an internal temperature of 165°F is reached for food safety.

Always use clean utensils when serving to maintain freshness and prevent contamination.
