Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 50-60 minutes
Chilling Time: 4 hours
Serving: 8 servings
Equipment: Round baking dish, medium saucepan, blender, larger baking pan for water bath
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat until it melts and becomes golden. Carefully pour the hot caramel into a round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.
- In a blender, combine the cream cheese, condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
- Place the dish in a larger baking pan and add hot water to the outer pan, filling it about halfway up the sides of the flan dish.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until set (a knife inserted into the center should come out clean).
- Remove the dish from the oven and the water bath. Let the flan cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- To serve, carefully invert the flan onto a plate, allowing the caramel sauce to flow over the flan.
