Ingredients

12 ounces Evaporated milk
14 ounces Condensed milk
4 Eggs
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
8 ounces Cream cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Over low-medium flame, heat the sugar with a ¼ cup of water in a small saucepan. Carefully stir the sugar until it fully dissolves.This can take 10 to 15 minutes. In the last 3 minutes, turn the heat from medium to high and boil the mixture.
Turn off the heat and slowly add another ¼ cup of water.Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. The Caramel Syrup for your Flan De Queso is ready. Immediately, pour the caramel Syrup inside a flan pan and evenly coat the sides.
You can store it in the refrigerator for at most 2 weeks.
In a bowl of a mixer, add evaporated milk and cream cheese. Mix the batter with a paddle until it turns smooth.Beat eggs into the flan batter, one at a time. Mix sweet, condensed milk and vanilla essence to the flan batter.
Strain the batter into a dish. Straining is important because it ensures that no cheese lumps are left behind.
Pour the batter into the flan pan that has been coated with caramel syrup. Place the flan pan in a large roasting dish which we will use as a water bath.
Fill it ½ with boiling water.
Bake for one hour. Let the flan cool for 5 minutes.
Invert the flan pan onto a platter and refrigerate your delicious Flan De Queso that is ready to be served!
