Mía’s Cocina Signature Flan

Caramel

• 1 cup white sugar

Flan

• 2 eggs
• 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 whole can (12 fl oz) evaporated milk

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Have a larger baking pan ready for the water bath.
• Warm the flan pan in hot water while preparing the mixture.
• Blend the eggs, softened cream cheese, and vanilla until smooth.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk and the entire can of evaporated milk. Blend until thoroughly combined.
• Melt the sugar in a saucepan until golden amber.
• Remove the flan pan from the warm water and dry completely.
• Carefully pour in the hot caramel and swirl to coat the bottom. Allow it to set.
• Pour the flan mixture over the caramel.
• Place the flan pan inside the larger pan. Carefully add hot water halfway up the outside of the flan pan.
• Bake at 350°F for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a gentle belly jiggle.
• Carefully remove the flan pan from the water bath.
• Cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Gently loosen the edges.
• Place a serving plate over the pan and flip with confidence! Allow the caramel to flow over the flan.
• Mía Says: Give your flan time to chill overnight before unmolding.
