Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Softened butter, to coat pan
1/4 cup cajeta or caramel sauce
10 tablespoons butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup cajeta or caramel sauce
1/4 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Put an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Coat a Bundt pan with a little butter, then coat the bottom with 1/4 cup cajeta and put it in a large roasting pan. (The roasting pan will serve as a water bath during baking.)
  • For the cake: Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and cocoa in a medium bowl. Beat 1/3 of the flour mixture, and 1/2 of the buttermilk into the egg mixture. Repeat, ending with the flour mixture. Blend until well incorporated.

  • Carefully slide the pan into the oven, and bake 1 hour, until the surface of the cake is firm to the touch, or an inserted toothpick comes out clean. When cake is done, remove from the water bath and cool completely to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • Invert a large, rimmed serving platter over the Bundt pan, grasp tightly together, jiggle a little and flip over. Remove the pan and scrape any remaining cajeta from the pan onto the cake, garnish with chopped pecans and serve!

CREAM CHEESE FLAN

Categories     dessert

Time 5h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange 8 (6-ounce) oven-safe custard or dessert cups in a large roasting pan. Stir sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until liquid is a deep golden brown, brushing down sides of saucepan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar from crystallizing, about 12 minutes. Quickly pour syrup into prepared cups.
  • In a blender, combine condensed milk, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to an 8-cup measuring cup or large bowl. Whisk in evaporated milk. Divide custard equally among prepared cups. Transfer roasting pan to oven. Pour enough water into roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the custard cups.
  • Bake until sides are firmly set and only the very center of custards jiggle slightly when cups are gently shaken, about 45 minutes (custards will firm up as they cool). Remove cups from pan, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Run small sharp knife around sides of custards. Invert each cup onto a dessert plate, shaking gently to release custard from cups. Drizzle caramel sauce over custard. Serve cold.

This recipe calls for Mexican cajeta (caramel topping). If you cannot find this in your supermarket, substitute Smucker's Caramel topping, however the Mexican cajeta has a richer flavor. This is very easy to make, and super good. Use it with your next Mexican Fiesta!!

CAJETA FLAN



Cajeta Flan image

Categories     Milk/Cream     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Boil     Ramekin     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

For caramel:
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
For flan:
1 (10-to 11-ounces) jar cajeta (goat's-milk caramel; about 3/4 cup)
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 (1-inch-wide) strip of lime zest
1/2 vanilla bean
3 whole large eggs
4 large egg yolks
Equipment: 8 (4-ounce) ramekins
Accompaniment: whipped cream

Steps:

  • Make caramel:
  • Bring sugar and water to a boil in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then wash down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Boil, without stirring, swirling pan occasionally so caramel colors evenly, until dark amber.
  • Immediately divide caramel among ramekins and swirl each ramekin to coat bottom and about halfway up side.
  • Make flan:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
  • Put cajeta, half-and-half, and lime zest in a heavy medium saucepan. Split vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape seeds into saucepan, then drop in pod. Bring to a simmer, stirring until smooth.
  • Whisk together whole eggs and yolks in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in hot liquid, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl. Ladle custard into ramekins.
  • Bake in a hot water bath until edge is set but a quarter-size spot in center is still wobbly, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Remove ramekins from water and cool at least 30 minutes (custard will continue to set). Unmold just before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choosing fresh and high-quality ingredients is crucial for a delicious flan. Use real cream cheese for a rich and creamy texture, and full-fat milk for a decadent flavor.
  • To prevent the flan from curdling, temper the eggs by gradually whisking in the hot milk mixture. This will help the eggs adjust to the temperature and prevent them from scrambling.
  • For a smooth and consistent flan, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve before pouring it into the baking dish. This will remove any lumps or impurities.
  • Baking the flan in a water bath is essential for creating a creamy and jiggly texture. The water bath helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevents the flan from overcooking.
  • Allow the flan to cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

This cajeta flan with cream cheese is a delightful dessert that combines the flavors of Mexico and the classic New York cheesecake. The rich and creamy texture of the flan is perfectly complemented by the caramel sauce, and the cream cheese adds a tangy and decadent touch. Whether you're a fan of flan or just looking for a new and exciting dessert to try, this recipe is sure to impress.
