Cream Cheese Flan
Ingredients
  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup 2% milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white sugar
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary ingredients and equipment.
2
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (the temperature is equivalent to 175 degrees Celsius).
3
Combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
4
Place sugar in an even layer at the bottom of a saucepan over medium heat; cook until the edges start to brown, approximately 1 minute.
5
Using a spatula, gently drag the sugar towards the center of the saucepan once the edges start to brown.
6
Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the caramel is an even golden brown color, taking around 4 to 5 minutes.
7
In a separate process, pour 1 inch of boiling water into a large oven-safe pot or baking dish to create a water bath.
8
Pour the caramel mixture into a 9-inch flan mold or baking pan; swirl it so that the caramel reaches 1 inch up the sides.
9
Pour the condensed milk mixture on top of the caramel layer; set it aside for now.
10
Position the flan mold or baking pan in a water bath, which consists of pouring 1 inch of boiling water into a large oven-safe pot or baking dish.
11
Place the flan and water bath in the preheated oven; bake until a damp table knife inserted into the center comes out clean, taking 45 minutes to 1 hour.
12
Remove the flan from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes to allow it to cool slightly.
13
Chill the flan in the refrigerator until firm, which can take 2 to 3 hours.
14
Invert the flan onto a serving plate so that the caramel is on top, and serve.
