Method
- 1 Melt the sugar over medium heat for 6 minutes until it turns amber, then spread it evenly over the bottom of the mold.
- 2 Blend the eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, and vanilla for 1 minute until smooth.
- 3 Strain the mixture through a sieve and gently pour it into the mold already containing the caramel.
- 4 Wrap the mold tightly with aluminum foil and steam it in a water bath for 50 minutes until the flan is firm but still slightly wobbly.
- 5 Let it cool, then refrigerate for 3 hours. Invert the mold onto a plate so the melted caramel coats the cake.
