Cook Time

The cook time for this recipe is approximately 1 hour.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 9-inch cake pan
  • Baking dish large enough to hold the cake pan
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric mixer
  • Saucepan

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. In a saucepan, heat the sugar and water over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns golden brown.
  3. Pour the caramelized sugar into the cake pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom and sides of the pan.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk or mix until well combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into the caramel-coated cake pan and place the pan in a larger baking dish.
  6. Fill the larger baking dish with hot water, about halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
  7. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cake pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature.
  9. Once cooled, cover the cake pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  10. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the cake pan to loosen the flan. Place a plate on top of the pan and flip it over. The flan should release from the pan onto the plate, with the caramel on top.

Notes

  • Make sure to use room temperature cream cheese to ensure it mixes well with the other ingredients.
  • This recipe can be easily doubled to make a larger flan.
  • It's important to let the flan cool to room temperature before refrigerating it to prevent condensation from forming on the top.
  • The longer the flan is chilled, the firmer it will become.

Recipe Tips
