CREAM CHEESE FLAN

Cream Cheese Flan

INGREDIENTS:

HOW TO PREPARE:

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a small saucepan add sugar.
Melt over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally until golden.
Remove from heat and pour the hot caramel into the bottom of a 9 inch pan.
Swirl the pan to spread evenly. Set aside.
Prepare the cream cheese mixture.
In a large bowl mix cream cheese until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, vanilla extract, evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk.
Mix well until combined.
Skim off the foam using a spoon or spatula.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the caramel into the pan.

Place the pan in a larger pan, place on oven rack and add boiling water halfway up the sides of the pan.
Loosely cover the pan with foil. (only during the first 30 or 45 minutes).
Bake for 60 to 75 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the center comes almost clean.
Remove the pan from water and cool completely on a cooling rack.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or better overnight.
Run a knife around the edges of the cake to unmold it and invert onto a serving plate.
Serve and enjoy :)

Important notes:

***You want a nice golden caramel so do not
burn the sugar or it will taste bitter.
***Make sure that the caramel has already cooled down before transferring the cheesecake mixture.
***Cover with foil to avoid burning the top. (Only during half-way of baking time).
***Oven temperature varies. Set your oven to 50 minutes first and then test with a toothpick.
***Skimming off the foam on top of the mixture will avoid bubbles in your flan.
Mine took 75 minutes to bake and it was perfect :)
This can also be steamed for one hour or until toothpick test comes out clean.
Recipe makes about 8-12 servings.
