For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the caramel. Ensure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the final product. Be patient during the caramelization process; avoid stirring too frequently to prevent crystallization. To unmold, run a thin knife around the edge of the flan to loosen it from the dish. Invert onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel to cascade over the creamy custard.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and transforms into a light brown caramel, approximately 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the caramel evenly into a round glass baking dish.
03
Step
2 mins
In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth. Gently pour the custard over the caramelized sugar in the baking dish. (5 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Place the baking dish inside a larger, deep baking pan. Carefully pour hot water into the outer pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan dish. This creates a bain-marie, ensuring even and gentle cooking. (5 minutes)
05
Step
1 hrs
Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is set and the top exhibits a delicate light brown hue, about 1 hour. A slight jiggle in the center is perfectly acceptable.
06
Step
4 hrs
Carefully remove the baking dish from the water bath and transfer it to a wire rack to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flan to fully set and develop its flavors. (3-4 hours)
