CREAM CHEESE FLAN



Cream Cheese Flan image

Rich and Creamy Flan with a beautiful amber sauce makes for a striking presentation. If you like cheese cake you will love this. You can add a bit of Amaretto Liquor if you like, or serve with a little Kahlua Liquor and a dollop of whipped cream. This requires a standing time of 3 hours and 20 minutes before serving.

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.)

CREAM CHEESE FLAN



Cream Cheese Flan image

Categories     dessert

Time 5h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
5 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange 8 (6-ounce) oven-safe custard or dessert cups in a large roasting pan. Stir sugar and water in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until liquid is a deep golden brown, brushing down sides of saucepan with a wet pastry brush to prevent sugar from crystallizing, about 12 minutes. Quickly pour syrup into prepared cups.
  • In a blender, combine condensed milk, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. Transfer to an 8-cup measuring cup or large bowl. Whisk in evaporated milk. Divide custard equally among prepared cups. Transfer roasting pan to oven. Pour enough water into roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the custard cups.
  • Bake until sides are firmly set and only the very center of custards jiggle slightly when cups are gently shaken, about 45 minutes (custards will firm up as they cool). Remove cups from pan, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Run small sharp knife around sides of custards. Invert each cup onto a dessert plate, shaking gently to release custard from cups. Drizzle caramel sauce over custard. Serve cold.

CREAM CHEESE FLAN

I found this recipe at Bon Appétit!! Considered to be cuisine of Spanish and/or Central America/Caribbean. The intro states: This is one of actor Andy Garcia's favorite dishes; the recipe comes from his wife, Marivi. Posting for ZWT. Guessing on the time it takes to make, but it doesn't include the chilling time.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup water, divided
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
5 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Stir sugar and 1/2 cup water in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until syrup turns deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan. Immediately pour caramel into 9x5x3-inch glass baking dish, tilting and rotating dish to coat bottom and 2 inches up sides with caramel. Cool.

Refrigerate uncovered until cool, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Run small sharp knife around flan to loosen. Firmly hold dish and platter together and invert, shaking gently to unmold flan onto platter. Scrape caramel syrup from dish over flan. Slice flan and serve.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the flan come out smooth and creamy.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeating can incorporate too much air into the flan, which can cause it to be spongy.
  • Use a water bath: This will help the flan cook evenly and prevent it from curdling.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving: This will help it set properly.
  • Serve the flan with your favorite toppings: Such as fresh fruit, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.

Conclusion:

This cream cheese flan is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, this flan is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
