Cream Cheese Flan


I've always loved leche flan so, naturally, I had to learn how to make it. There are so many recipes out there (and I've tried quite a few of them), but this is the only one I really liked. Cream cheese is used in the recipe so it tastes very rich and creamy. Yum!

It's very easy to make, but taking the flan(s) out of the ramekins can be a little tricky. But with a little practice, you'll get the hang of it!

Ingredients:

12 oz cream cheese
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk
14 oz condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla

For caramel: water and white sugar (amount would depend on how much syrup you want)

Directions:

Blend together ingredients.
In a saucepan, melt water and white sugar until caramelized.
Pour caramel into ramekins (about 6 of them) and add cream cheese mixture.
Line glass baking pan (must be large enough to hold all the ramekins) with a towel. Add water to bottom of pan, making sure the towel is soaked through.
Cover pan with aluminum foil.
Bake at 325F for 30 minutes to an hour.
