Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place a 9-inch metal pie dish into a deep baking pan; pour boiling water into baking pan to reach about halfway up the side of the pie dish.
- Pour 1 teaspoon water and 1/2 cup sugar into a heavy saucepan, place over medium heat, and constantly swirl the sugar-water mixture in the pan over the heat until sugar dissolves, melts, and turns into a golden-brown caramel syrup, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully, the sugar burns easily. Pour melted caramel into the warmed pie dish and gently tilt pie dish to coat the bottom with caramel.
- Whisk egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until mixture is creamy and thoroughly combined. If mixture is foamy, skim foam off with a folded paper towel. Gently pour custard over caramel in pie dish. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set but still jiggles slightly when moved, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove foil and place baking sheet with water bath and flan in refrigerator to chill, about 2 hours.
- Remove pie dish from baking pan; run a knife around the edges of flan to loosen from pie dish. Invert flan onto a rimmed serving platter to release custard and let caramel sauce flow over the flan.

Tips:
- For the perfect pie crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. This will create a flaky and tender crust.
- When making the pastry cream, be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help prevent the custard from curdling.
- To prevent the pie from cracking, pre-bake the crust for 10-15 minutes before filling it.
- Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the custard to set and firm up.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can brown the meringue with a broiler. Just be sure to watch it closely so that it doesn't burn.
