Ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs plus
3 egg yolks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1(14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 1/4 cups milk
2 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
Directions:
Place sugar in small skillet over medium-high heat and stir while it liquefies.
Let sugar boil until it caramelizes to a walnut brown, stirring occasionally.
Watch carefully so that it does not burn.
Pour the caramel into the bottom of
a 9-inch flan pan or soufflé dish and, working very quickly, spread it evenly
with a rubber spatula over the bottom of the pan.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place eggs, yolks, vanilla, milks and cream cheese in a blender or food processor
and process at least 5 minutes. Pour mixture into the flan pan and place in
larger baking pan in the center of the oven. Pour boiling water halfway up the
sides of the pan.
Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes or until knife inserted in the center
comes out clean. Watch carefully and cover the flan with foil if the top seems
to be getting too brown.
Remove from oven, cool to room temperature, then cut
around the edges and invert onto a deep-sided serving plate.
Serve each piece
with some of the caramel syrup.
Note: Flan can be made as long as three days
before serving and kept refrigerated covered with plastic wrap.
Leave in the
pan until ready to serve
