Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Evaporated milk
  • 14 ounces Condensed milk
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces Cream cheese

How to Make?

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Over low-medium flame, heat the sugar with a ¼ cup of water in a small saucepan. Carefully stir the sugar until it fully dissolves.This can take 10 to 15 minutes. In the last 3 minutes, turn the heat from medium to high and boil the mixture.
    Turn off the heat and slowly add another ¼ cup of water.Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. The Caramel Syrup for your Flan De Queso is ready. Immediately, pour the caramel Syrup inside a flan pan and evenly coat the sides.
    You can store it in the refrigerator for at most 2 weeks.
  • In a bowl of a mixer, add evaporated milk and cream cheese. Mix the batter with a paddle until it turns smooth.Beat eggs into the flan batter, one at a time. Mix sweet, condensed milk and vanilla essence to the flan batter.
    Strain the batter into a dish. Straining is important because it ensures that no cheese lumps are left behind.
  • Pour the batter into the flan pan that has been coated with caramel syrup. Place the flan pan in a large roasting dish which we will use as a water bath.
    Fill it ½ with boiling water.
    Bake for one hour. Let the flan cool for 5 minutes.
  • Invert the flan pan onto a platter and refrigerate your delicious Flan De Queso that is ready to be served!
