COCONUT CARAMEL CREAM CHEESE FLAN
My wonderful former neighbors in Gainesville, FL (Rafael and Madeleine De Paz) gave me this recipe after giving me, for Christmas, one of these. Ignore the "caramels." The last two ingredients make the caramello for the cake pan. (RecipeZaar doesn't let me list instructions for the ingredients.)

Steps:
- 1. Cook 1 cup sugar in small saucepan on medium heat until melted and golden brown, stirring constantly. Immediately pour into 9 inch round pan; tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Set aside.
- 2. Blend milk and cream cheese in blender until smooth. Add remaining sugar, eggs, coconut and salt; blend until smooth. Pour over syrup; place 9 inch pan in large shallow pan. Add enough water to large pan to come halfway up side of 9 inch pan.
- 3. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees. Cool. Carefully remove flan from water. Refrigerate 4 hours. When ready to serve, invert pan onto plate to unmold.
- 4. To soften any remaining caramel in pan, dip bottom of pan in hot water; spoon caramel over flan.
Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Make sure all your ingredients are measured and ready to go before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use good quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your flan will taste. Use fresh, full-fat coconut milk and cream cheese for the best results.
- Don't overcook the flan: The flan is done cooking when it is just set in the center. Overcooking will make the flan rubbery.
- Let the flan cool completely before serving: The flan needs to cool completely before serving so that it has time to set and firm up.
- Serve the flan with your favorite toppings: Coconut cream, whipped cream, or fresh fruit are all great options.
