Flan de Queso (Cream Cheese Flan)

Ingredients

• 1 can sweetened condensed milk , 14 ounce
• 1 can evaporated milk , 12 fluid ounce
• 6 large eggs
• 1 package cream cheese , 8 ounce
• 0.33 cups 2% milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2

   Place sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until smooth.

3. 3

   Place sugar in an even layer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the edges start to brown, about 1 minute; drag sugar into the center with a spatula once the edges start to brown. Continue cooking, stirring from time to time, until caramel is an even golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, pour 1 inch boiling water into a large oven-safe pot or baking dish to make a water bath.

5. 5

   Pour caramel into a 9-inch flan mold or baking pan; swirl so that caramel reaches 1 inch up the sides. Pour the condensed milk mixture on top. Set in the water bath.

6. 6

   Set the flan and water bath in the preheated oven; bake until a damp table knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Chill flan in the refrigerator until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Invert onto a serving plate so that caramel is on top.
