​​
  • 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 :)
  • Recipe makes about 8-12 servings.
