Cream cheese Flan

 Ingredients

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup water

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

5 eggs

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk

1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

Prepare your caramel by adding 1 cup sugar in a pot on medium-low flame and melt it until the sugar caramelizes. Don’t have too high so as not to burn the caramel. Burnt caramel tastes bitter. But if you don’t like that method you can add 1/2 cup of water to the sugar and it’s caramelize this way also.

  1. Pour caramel into a mold. Allow to harden.

  2. Next add the eggs to a bowl & beat them. Next add the milk and mix very well.

  3. When pouring the milk into the mold use a strainer to remove any lumps.

  4. Cover mold with aluminum foil.


  5. Add about 2 cups hot water in a pot and carefully add in your mold. The water should be about 1 inch deep.

  6. Cover with a lid and boil Flan on medium low flame for 40 minutes. Don’t allow the water to evaporate because the Flan will burn.

  7. Check to see if the Flan is ready by inserting a toothpick.

  8. Remove Flan and allow to rest on a container to for 1 hour then place it in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight.

  9. Remove from refrigerator & use a knife to loosen edges. Place a plate over mold and carefully flip Flan over into the plate.

  10. Cut a piece, drizzle some caramel over your piece or add whipped cream and enjoy!
