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.

CREAM CHEESE FLAN

Rich and Creamy Flan with a beautiful amber sauce makes for a striking presentation. If you like cheese cake you will love this. You can add a bit of Amaretto Liquor if you like, or serve with a little Kahlua Liquor and a dollop of whipped cream. This requires a standing time of 3 hours and 20 minutes before serving.

CREAM CHEESE FLAN



Cream Cheese Flan image

I found this recipe at Bon Appétit!! Considered to be cuisine of Spanish and/or Central America/Caribbean. The intro states: This is one of actor Andy Garcia's favorite dishes; the recipe comes from his wife, Marivi. Posting for ZWT. Guessing on the time it takes to make, but it doesn't include the chilling time.

Tips:

  • To ensure a smooth flan, strain the cream cheese mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the baking dish. This will remove any unwanted lumps.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of ground cinnamon to the mixture for extra flavor.
  • Bake the flan in a water bath to prevent it from cracking. Place the baking dish inside a larger pan filled with hot water and bake according to the recipe instructions.
  • To check if the flan is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the flan is ready. If it comes out with wet batter, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Let the flan cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help it set properly and prevent it from becoming watery.
  • Serve the flan chilled, garnished with fresh berries, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

This super easy cream cheese flan recipe is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on any occasion.
