INGREDIENTS

  • Sweeteners

    • 1/4 cup white sugar

  • Dairy

    • 🥛 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    • 🥛 1 (14 ounce) can evaporated milk
    • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

  • Eggs

    • 🥚 5 eggs

  • Flavorings

    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

STEPS

1

Place sugar into a 9-inch ring mold and cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and turns golden, about 10 minutes. Let caramel cool and harden, about 20 minutes.

2

Blend sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla extract in a blender until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour mixture over the hardened caramel in the mold and cover with aluminum foil. Pierce the foil in the center hole for steam to circulate.

3

Place a metal rack inside a large pot over medium heat. Add water to almost reach the rack and bring to a boil. Place the mold on the rack, cover the pot, and steam until the flan is set and firm, about 45 minutes.

4

Unmold flan onto a serving plate and let it cool before serving.
