Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

Caramel

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

Flan Mix

  • 2 cans evaporated milk
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 5 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 12 oz cream cheese

Instructions
 

Caramel

  • Pour the sugar into a small saucepan or directly into the baking pan. Cook on medium heat moving constantly, until the sugar disolves into an amber color caramel sauce.
    If you are making the caramel in a saucepan, once it's done, pour into the baking pan and very carefully swirl around the bottom and edges of th pan.
    Set aside until it dries. You will hear the caramel cracking as it dries.

Custard Flan

  • Set the oven to 350°
  • In the bowl of a blender or food processor, pour in all the ingredients and blend for aproximately 2 minutes.
  • Pour mix into the dried caramel.
  • Bake in a double boiler for approximately 2 hours. Insert a wooden skewer in the center, and if it comes out clean, your flan is ready.
  • Let the flan cool down at room temperature for about an hour, once it has refreshed place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight.
  • You will need a large-edged plate or cake stand to transfer the flan into. To release the flan out of the pan pass a knife through the edges of the pan, place the larger plate on top of the flan then turn it over. Give it a soft wiggle then pull the pan away. Let all the caramel drip on top of the flan.
  • Enjoy!
