Brazilian chocolate flan, also known as Pudim de Chocolate, is a rich and creamy dessert that's popular in Brazil. Made with a combination of sweetened condensed milk, milk, chocolate milk mix, egg yolks, and vanilla extract, this dessert is simple to make but impressive to serve. It's often garnished with fresh berries or whipped cream to balance out the sweetness. Perfect for special occasions or as a luxurious after-dinner treat, this dessert is sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
2.	In a small saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, milk, and butter. Heat gently over low heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
3.	Add the chocolate milk mix and whisk until completely dissolved.
4.	In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and vanilla extract until light and frothy. Gradually whisk in the chocolate mixture.
5.	Pour the mixture into a flan dish or any oven-safe baking dish with a flat bottom.
6.	Place the dish in a larger baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
7.	Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the middle still jiggles when gently shaken.
8.	Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours or overnight.
9.	When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate.
