Recipe Introduction
This is an authentic Puerto Rican flan -- easy and great tasting!!
List of Ingredients
6 whole eggs
1 bar cream cheese
3 5 oz. cans evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cups sugarRecipe
Take the sugar and carmelize it in a small sauce pan. Do not let the sugar burn. It should be a golden caramel color. Pour this caramel into an 8 inch round dish. Make sure to coat the bottom and the sides of the pan.
Place all other ingredients in a blender and mix till it has a smooth consistency. Pour into the pan filled with caramel. Place pan in a water bath.
Bake in oven at 350 degrees for one hour (depending on your oven it could be shorter or longer). Check flan by poking it in the center with a knife. If the knife is clean, then the flan is cooked.
Insert the table knife along the side of the flan and go all the way around the pot to loosen the edges. Allow to cool at room temperature for about an hour. Cover with platter and turn upside down until it drops in the platter.
If necessary, tap lightly on the bottom of the pan until you feel the weight of tghe flan on the bottom platter.
Lasts two to three days well covered in refrigerator.
