Instructions: (1) Mix eggs, milk, and vanilla together.

2. Soften the cream cheese and mix it together with the other ingredients.

Be careful not to over-mix the cream cheese or it will cause air pockets in the flan.

3. Prepare a caramel by cooking 1/2 cup of sugar over a low flame until the sugar liquifies. Use a metal container to do this.

4. Turn just enough caramel into the pan/ ramekin to cover the bottom.

5. once the sugar is hard , pour the batter you prepared in steps 1 & 2 into the pan/ ramekin.

6. place pan/ ramekin into a bain-marie. The pan/ ramekin in which the ingredients are in should be 3/4 submerged in water.

7. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1/2 hour. The flan is done when a knife/ toothpick inserted into it comes out clean.

Suggested Wine: Sangria

Serving Ideas : Serve slices inverted so the caramel is on top

NOTES : This is an excellent cheesecake like dessert.
