Instructions
- Preheat to oven 350F. Put a pot of water on to boil.
- Set a 9-inch round cake pan into a larger baking pan. The larger baking pan needs to have sides at least 2 inches high.³
- Add the sugar to a small heavy saucepan.
- Heat the sugar over medium-low heat until the sugar melts and completely dissolves, stirring as needed.
- Remove the pan from the heat when the sugar is amber colored. Keep an eye on it so that it doesn't burn.
- Pour the melted sugar into the bottom of the cake pan and carefully swirl the sugar up the sides. The sugar will begin harden right away, so work quickly.
- Add the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla to a blender or food processer.
- Blend until smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the blended custard into the cake pan over the sugar.
- Carefully pour the boiling water around the cake pan in the larger pan to create a water bath. The water should come up one inch on the outside of the cake pan.
- Bake for about 60 minutes, or until the middle is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
- Remove the pans from oven, but let the flan remain in its pan in the water bath for 1 hour.
- Remove the pan of flan from the water bath, and chill for at least 2 hours.
- To serve, run a thin knife around the edge of the pan.
- Place a plate over the pan of flan and flip upside-down to invert.
- Slice into wedges, and serve topped with any remaining caramel in pan, if desired.
Notes
- Dairy: I recommend using full-fat cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and evaporated milk for the creamiest flan.
- Water bath: I use a 9x13-inch baking pan for the water bath .
