This is an easy to make Caramel Flan recipe made using cream cheese, whole eggs, condensed, and evaporated milk, covered with a light sugar syrup. It serves 8 and is perfect for dessert.
1: In a medium-size saucepan place the sugar and water, bring to a boil on high heat until sugar dissolves.
2: When sugar dissolves, reduce heat and keep boiling until the syrup gets a light brown-caramel color, about 10 minutes.
3: Pour the caramel into your oven-proof pan, swirling to cover the bottom evenly. Let cool.
4: Meanwhile, whisk together cream cheese, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and evaporated milk until incorporated.
5: Pour the mixture over the caramel.
6: Pour hot water into the baking pan around the custard dishes to a depth of about 1 inch.
7: Bake the flan at 350°F for 50 minutes to an hour in the water bath.
8: Check with a knife inserted just off-center into one of the servings; if the knife comes out clean, the flan is ready.
9: To serve, invert the dish onto a small plate, allowing the flan to drop out and the caramel sauce to flow over the custard.
