Ingredients

• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 397 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 354 milliliters Evaporated milk
• 4 units Large eggs
• 1 tablespoon Pure vanilla extract
• 1000 milliliters Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar, stirring constantly with a heatproof spoon or spatula, until it turns a golden caramel color. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 3

Carefully pour the caramel into the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) round cake pan or a flan mold. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the caramel. Set aside to cool and harden.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the blended mixture over the hardened caramel in the flan mold.

Step 6

Place the flan mold into a larger roasting pan. Create a water bath by pouring hot water into the roasting pan, making sure it comes about halfway up the sides of the flan mold.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the flan mold from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 9

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan mold, place a large serving plate over the top, and quickly invert the flan onto the plate. The caramel will create a beautiful glossy sauce on top.

Step 10

Slice and serve the cheese flan chilled. Enjoy!
