Ingredients:

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 5 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Serves: 8

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth texture.
- Use a water bath when baking the flan to prevent cracking.
- Let the flan cool completely before serving to allow it to set.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and turns into a golden brown caramel.
3. Pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, tilting the dish to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
6. Place the baking dish in a larger baking pan and fill the larger pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the flan is set. To check if it's done, insert a toothpick in the center of the flan. If it comes out clean, it's done.
8. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
9. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert the flan onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the top.
