Dessert
Chocolate-Ancho Flan with Cinnamon Meringue Crust & Candied Jalapeño Syrup
A sophisticated take on a Mexican classic: a silken, barely-set chocolate and ancho chile flan is baked in a water bath and topped with a torched cinnamon meringue crust that cracks under the spoon. Finished with a candied jalapeño syrup that's simultaneously sweet, hot, and tart, this dessert honors tradition while showcasing advanced pastry technique and elegant plating. Preparation spans 45 minutes of active work plus overnight chilling.
