Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe takes about 15 minutes.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 package cream cheese
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9-inch cake pan
  • Bowl
  • Mixer
  • Saucepan
  • Whisk

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns into a caramel color. Pour it into a 9-inch cake pan and swirl it around until it coats the bottom evenly.
  3. In a bowl, mix together the evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer to blend everything together until smooth.
  4. Pour the mixture into the cake pan over the caramel sauce.
  5. Place the cake pan inside a larger baking pan and add enough hot water to the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan. This is called a water bath.
  6. Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the center is set.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  9. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the cake pan to loosen the flan. Invert it onto a serving dish and serve cold.

Notes

  • Be sure to use room temperature ingredients to avoid lumps in the mixture.
  • When adding the hot water to the larger baking pan, be careful not to get any water inside the cake pan.
  • If the caramel hardens before you pour the mixture, place the cake pan over low heat to melt the caramel.

Recipes FAQ

Can I make this without a water bath?

The water bath is essential for keeping the flan moist and preventing it from cracking. Skipping the water bath may cause the flan to dry out and crack.

Can I use a different type of milk?

You can use any type of milk you like but using evaporated and condensed milk gives the flan its signature texture.

Can I use low-fat ingredients?

Using low-fat ingredients may affect the texture and flavor of the flan. It's best to stick to the original ingredients for the best results.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure to fully blend the ingredients to avoid lumps in the mixture.
  • Don't overcook the caramel sauce as it can become bitter.
  • Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating to prevent condensation from forming on the surface.
  • Run a knife around the edges of the cake pan before inverting it onto a serving dish to prevent it from sticking.
