Recipe News: Creamy custard - and chocolate twist

"Flan is a classic Mexican dessert. The caramel custard is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but you can substitute other extract, such as almond or coffee, for a different taste.

Here are two recipes to try. The first is a traditional flan from "El Charro Cafe Cookbook," by Jane and Michael Stern (Rutledge Hill Press). The book features recipes from Carlotta Flores, great-niece of the founder of El Charro Cafe in Tucson, Ariz., the oldest Mexican restaurant in continuous operation by a family in the United States.

The second recipe, contributed by Eugenia Graybill of East Lansing, puts a chocolate cheesecake-twist on flan."

Includes recipes for:

• FLAN


• CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE FLAN
