    I really enjoy how Rick has completely immersed himself in Mexican cuisine. Sweet, savory, veggies, meat, fish, pastry… does it all. I remember seeing Rick blow people away with his Oxacan black mole on Top Chef Masters a decade ago. Great to see that, much like a mole, both his skills as a chef and teacher have developed wonderful depth and complexity with time. 🍻

    Funny story. I thought I’d be festive and cheeky one Christmas years ago. I added green food dye to the cajeta and the flan mixture, then used a red velvet boxed cake mix. The result was hilarious. You should’ve heard the gasp during the reveal. It was definitely two layers, red cake and green flan. It was delicious but did not look appetizing AT ALL. My nephew called it the Incredible Hulk cake. I’m making your recipe this year and sticking to natural colors (but I added a little concentrated cold brew coffee just cause chocolate cake is so good with a little coffee 😋).

    I'm Mexican and I no one in my immediate family circle cooks or bakes so I'm following your recipe, there's something really graceful about this man, love it and thank you for keeping it so Mexican even with the brands, also something I like to do for the flan is to add a little of orange zest, I love the flavor it gives to it ❤

    My girlfriend makes the best flancocho, that's what we call it here on the island... She made it over 8 years ago...and it was delicious, she's a great baker, and there's a young lady on you tube that makes a triple by adding cheesecake to it... Boricuas always know how to make great desserts... One regret, my uncle use to make the best sweets from Puerto Rico and none of us asked for the recipes... So they died with him...

    I just made this bundt this past weekend (April 2024). It was an extra dessert for a Mexican-themed birthday party (not the bday cake). It was THE most delicious chocolate cake I have ever made! It will definitely be my go-to from now on. And the flan was delicious. The cake was a huge hit.
    The one thing that threw me was why it was called Impossible. I understand the reason behind it---soooo glad I watched the video because I would have assumed the recipe was in the wrong order and I would have reversed the layers! It's a wonderful surprise. BUT! the only one who knows why it would be called Impossible is the baker! Anyone else would not know the magic that had transpired. :)

    I just made this recipe, I let it cool to room temp them cooled it for 30 minutes in fridge. . . AMAZING recipe. I used lower quality dulce de leche and it still came out awesome. Other recipes have cake that’s more like bread, very dense, this was soft and spongy and flavorful. I added espresso powder to the chocolate cake mix, and also, if you heat the milk for chocolate cake batter in the microwave until hot, you can bloom your cocoa powder in it by whisking them together, it enhances the flavor, especially if using a good quality cocoa powder

    @alyssaschluter6978 2 года назад +1

  • @johannaliceaga5936
    @johannaliceaga5936 9 месяцев назад

    If you don’t find that caramel you can also easily make a quick caramel that’s very traditional in the Mexican flan where we just pour a bunch of sugar I think like a cup or two I’m not sure and a splash of water like a few spoonfuls and mix it around until it gets browned, you want a dark brown but not too dark because it will burn and be very bitter.

  • @eileennegron2882
    @eileennegron2882 Месяц назад

    Another way to get the caramel, is to cook sugar. That is how my mother always made it. I have noticed other Latino recipes using bottled caramel. In the Caribe, we cook the sugar. That would be why I didn't care for that flavor with the chocolate cake. We call it Flancocho and it's flan-biscocho together. The rest of the recipe is the same. I preferred it with vanilla or yellow cake to the chocolate. Again, because cooked sugar tastes different than caramel which has dairy.

  • @LukeWalstead
    @LukeWalstead 2 месяца назад +1

    I grew up on a small farm with goats. Now, we only had goats because they were helpful for clearing the land and because my mother liked them as pets. So I was not raised eating the milk or milk products from goats but I was raised around the animals. The smell of goat is one of the most horrific smells to my nose. If you don't know, male goats (aka bucks) urinate all over their faces to attract the females. And forever in my mind the musty gamey smell of goat is intrinsically intertwined with the acrid demonic odor of goat piss. I cannot bring myself to swallow goat's meat, milk or cheese - All of it tastes exactly like goats smell and it produces in me an unconquerable gag reflex in response to that flavor and aroma. I fear that if I were stuck and starving in a place where goat products were the only possible means of sustenance, I might actually starve to death. Who knows, maybe the hunger pangs would overcome the gag reflex, but I wouldn't bet on it! Even lamb is difficult for me because it has a very similar flavor profile, albeit not quite as foul.
    So, the thought of adding goat's milk caramel to an otherwise divine looking dessert is horrific to me.
    Can anyone tell me on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being goat cheese) how pungent is the goat flavor in this caramel? I don't want to be a weenie, and I am definitely not a picky eater when it comes to basically anything EXCEPT goat. If I get feedback here that it's less than a four, I might give it a try. Otherwise I'm going to go with the cow version of this caramel.
