Steps:
- Place the sugar, water and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to combine. Cook until sugar mixture reaches a deep golden brown color, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Equally divide the caramel into 10 to 12 (3 1/2-inch) ramekins and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the eggs on low speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until completely incorporated. Add the condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk and vanilla extract and continue to beat together until everything is well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Ladle the custard over the caramel into the ramekins filling them up to 1/2-inch from the rim. Place a kitchen towel in a deep baking dish or roasting pan and place the ramekins in 2 rows on top of the towel. Place the baking dish in the oven and using a pitcher, pour enough hot water into the baking dish to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins, taking care not to get water in the ramekins. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the flan is just set, about 30 minutes. When you tap the edge of the ramekin the flan should still wobble in the center.
- Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven, remove the foil and let the ramekins cool slightly. Using tongs remove the ramekins from the water and set on a towel to cool for at least 2 hours before serving. Once cooled completely, the flan can be refrigerated for up to 3 days before un-molding and serving.
- To serve, run a thin knife around the inside edge of the ramekin to loosen the flan, and then invert onto a plate.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, add sugar and ½ cup water. Bring water to boil, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook sugar mixture, without stirring, until deep golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes. Carefully pour caramel to 8-cup heat-proof mold, quickly swirling to evenly coat bottom before caramel hardens; set aside. In medium mixing bowl, using a hand blender or whisk, beat together cream cheese and eggs until smooth. Whisk in condensed milk and evaporated milk until smooth and combined. Pour cream cheese mixture into the prepared mold with caramel. Place mold in larger, deep pan. Pour enough hot (not boiling) water into larger pan, until water comes halfway up sides of flan mold to form bain-marie. Cover tightly with foil. Transfer pan to oven. Bake until flan is set ( a thin knife inserted into the center will come out clean), 40-45 minutes. Remove flan mold from pan; discard foil. Let sit until cool. Transfer flan mold to refrigerator until chilled, at least 2 hours. To unmold, run a thin knife around edges of flan. Invert onto serving plate. Cut into 12 pieces.

Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
- Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and flip the flan out onto a serving platter. Spoon any caramel remaining in the baking dish over the flan.

Steps:
- Special equipment: 10 (3 1/2-inch) ramekins
- Set a large bowl of ice water next to your stovetop. Place the sugar and 1/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Using a pastry brush, stir the sugar occasionally, being careful not to get any grains stuck against the sides of the saucepan, until it has all dissolved. Swirl the saucepan every minute until the sugar becomes a golden reddish-brown, about 10 to 15 minutes. Shock the bottom of the saucepan by placing the bottom in the ice water to stop the cooking, and then equally divide the caramel into 10 to 12 (3 1/2-inch) ramekins and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese with the eggs on low speed to combine. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until completely incorporated. Add the condensed milk, evaporated milk, whole milk and vanilla extract and continue to beat together until everything is well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips for Making Flan de Queso:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Opt for fresh cheese, cream, and milk. If you can find Mexican crema, it will give your flan a richer flavor. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can incorporate too much air, which can cause the flan to curdle. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are well combined. - Strain the batter to remove any lumps. This will ensure a smooth, creamy flan. - Use a bain-marie, or water bath, to bake the flan. This will gently cook the flan and prevent it from curdling. - Bake the flan until it is just set. The center of the flan should still be slightly jiggly. If you bake the flan for too long, it will become dry and rubbery. - Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will allow it to firm up and develop its full flavor. - Garnish the flan with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of cinnamon before serving.Conclusion:
Flan de queso is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover cheese and cream, and it can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a classic vanilla flan or a more modern flavor combination, there is a flan de queso recipe out there for you.
