Caramel Flan

Recipe Instructions

• Mix a can of evaporated milk, a can of condensed milk, 5 eggs, and 1 tsp vanilla extract at medium to medium-high speed for about 1 minute or until well blended.
• Transfer the ingredients to another bowl.
• Add cream cheese to the mixing bowl and mix at medium or medium-high speed for about 1 minute until the cream cheese looks creamy.
• Add the other ingredients and mix at medium-high speed for another minute.
• Use the spatula to ensure all ingredients mix well and you don’t leave ingredients on the walls of the bowl.
• Set aside while you caramelize the sugar.
• On the stove, cook 1 cup of sugar over low-medium heat until caramelized. Stir continuously with a spoon or spatula. You can add 1 tbsp of water to the sugar if you want, but it is not required.
• Pour the caramelized sugar into the baking pan. Move the pan in a circular motion to ensure the caramel coats the sides of the pan.
• Pour the flan mix.
• Place the baking pan inside the large baking pan.
• Add hot water to the large pan until the water is about 1 inch tall.
• Preheat the oven to 350^oF.
• Bake on the Bain-Marie for 50-60 minutes.
• Check if the flan is well cooked by inserting a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out clean, the flan is ready.
• Let the flan cool, and then place it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
• Once cool, use a knife to detach the flan from the pan.
• Place a plate over the pan and flip it. The flan should come right off the pan and onto the plate.
• Cut and serve.
• Your flan is now ready for you to enjoy!
