This flan de queso is my favorite recipe, learned from my mother. People love it and ask me for the recipe every time they try it, so here it is. I find it tastes better cold.

Ingredients

  • 1 , 14 ounce
  • 1 , 12 fluid ounce
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 , 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.
