Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces cream cheese

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, carefully melt 1 cup of sugar. As the sugar melts and becomes golden brown, tilt the saucepan to achieve an even caramel. Do not stir and be cautious as it can burn quickly.
  2. Immediately pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, quickly tilting to evenly coat the bottom. Allow it to harden and set aside.
  3. In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and cream cheese. Blend until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary.
  4. Pour the milk mixture into the caramel-lined baking dish, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the baking dish into a larger, deep baking pan. Fill the larger pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish. This water bath will help prevent the flan from cracking.
  6. Carefully place the pan in the oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center of the flan is set but still jiggles slightly when gently shaken. Check frequently to avoid overcooking.
  7. Remove the flan from the oven and water bath. Let it cool completely at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a serving plate on top, invert the dish quickly, and gently lift to release the flan. The caramel will flow over the top as a delicious sauce.
