This flan de queso is my favorite recipe, learned from my mother. People love it and ask me for the recipe every time they try it, so here it is. I find it tastes better cold.
Ingredients
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 6 large eggs
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup white sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
Place sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until smooth.
Step 3
Place sugar in an even layer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until the edges start to brown, about 1 minute; drag sugar into the center with a spatula once the edges start to brown. Continue cooking, stirring from time to time, until caramel is an even golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, pour 1 inch boiling water into a large oven-safe pot or baking dish to make a water bath.
Step 5
Pour caramel into a 9-inch flan mold or baking pan; swirl so that caramel reaches 1 inch up the sides. Pour the condensed milk mixture on top. Set in the water bath.
Step 6
Set the flan and water bath in the preheated oven; bake until a damp table knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Chill flan in the refrigerator until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Invert onto a serving plate so that caramel is on top.
Recipe Tip
You'll need a flan mold (or a standard tube pan) and a pot for the bain-marie (water bath) that's big enough to comfortably accommodate the mold.
