To make Flan de Queso (Cream Cheese Flan), you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 4 eggs
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the caramel:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water for the caramel and cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture turns a golden brown color. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the dish.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and place it in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the flan is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Invert the flan onto a serving plate and serve chilled.
