🧀 Ingredients You’ll Need

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 How to Make Cream Cheese Flan

Step 1: Make the Caramel
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar until it becomes a golden caramel. Quickly pour the caramel into your flan mold or individual ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside.

Step 2: Blend the Flan Base
In a blender, combine cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Pour and Bake
Carefully pour the flan mixture over the caramel in the mold. Place the mold in a larger baking dish and add hot water halfway up the sides to create a bain-marie (water bath). Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

Step 4: Chill and Serve
Let the flan cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight). To serve, run a knife around the edges, invert onto a plate, and watch the caramel drizzle over the silky flan.
