Prep time: 25 min

Total time: 75 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 5 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped; ½ dried pasilla chile, stemmed & seeded; ¾ cup heavy cream; ¾ cup whole milk; 1 cinnamon stick; 3 large eggs; 3 large egg yolks; ¼ cup sugar (plus 3 tbsp for caramel); 1 tbsp gold tequila; 2 jalapeños, sliced thin; ¼ cup honey; 2 tbsp corn oil (for tuiles); 2 tbsp butter, melted; 3 tbsp corn flour (masa harina); Zest and juice of 1 lime; 1 tbsp crema Mexicana or sour cream; Pinch of fleur de sel

A silky, spoon-tender flan built on dark chocolate and a whisper of pasilla chile, set in a pool of caramel. Candied jalapeño slices bring a subtle heat and citrus sharpness; a delicate crispy tequila tuile adds textural contrast and a whisper of agave spirit. Finished with a quenelle of lime crema and a dust of dried lime zest—sophistication masquerading as decadence.
