Flan de queso crema, or cream cheese flan, is a popular dessert in Latin America and the Caribbean. Similar to crème caramel, this creamy flan is made with a custard base that is baked in a water bath. The result is a smooth, rich, and slightly wobbly custard with a slightly caramelized top. This article provides two versions of this classic dessert: a traditional baked flan de queso crema and a no-bake version made with gelatina sin sabor (unflavored gelatin). Both recipes are easy to follow and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a special occasion dessert or a simple weeknight treat, flan de queso crema is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Steps:
- Preheat to oven 350°F degrees. Set a kettle of water to boil. Set an 8- or 9-inch cake (or pie) pan with 2-inch high sides inside of a larger baking pan (such as a 13x9).
- In a small sauce pan over medium-low heat, melt sugar until completely dissolved. Watch carefully so it does not burn. You may swirl the pan to stir. Remove from heat when it is a dark golden, amber color.
- Immediately pour the melted sugar into the bottom of the cake pan, working quickly before it hardens. Set aside.
- In a blender beat the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure there are no lumps. Pour the strained custard into the cake pan over the sugar caramel. Next, add boiling water to the larger pan. It should come up the sides about an inch deep. The cake pan will be sitting in a water bath.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until set around the edges with a slight jiggle in the middle. Remove from oven and let the flan cool in the water bath, about an hour. Once cool, refrigerate at least 2 hours, but overnight is best.
- When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges to loosen. Set a plate over the flan and flip upside-down to invert. Slice into wedges and serve.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, cook and stir sugar with a wooden spoon until melted and golden, about 10 minutes. Caramel is very hot. Very carefully pour the caramel into a 9-inch round, 3-inch deep baking dish. Swirl dish to cover bottom and sides. The caramel will harden as it cools.
- Combine the eggs, cream cheese, and sweetened condensed milk in a blender. Cover, and blend on High until well combined; transfer to a large bowl. Pour the cream of coconut, coconut milk, evaporated milk, coconut-flavored rum, and vanilla extract into the blender; cover and blend on High until well combined. Pour into the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whisk until incorporated. Pour the flan mixture into the caramel-coated baking dish.
- Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place the filled baking dish on the towel, and place roasting pan in the preheated oven. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Bake until the flan is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack; cool. Refrigerate flan until ready to serve.
- To serve, run a knife around the edges of the pan and flip the flan out onto a serving platter. Spoon any caramel remaining in the baking dish over the flan.

How can you go wrong with sugar, cream and eggs? You can't. This serves 12 but make two because you'll want to keep one for yourself. Prep time does not include refrigeration overnight.

Steps:
- Melt the sugar in an 8 inch cake pan (preferably a coated one). To do this, put the pan directly over a medium heat burner stirring continually (You can also do this in a sauce pan and pout into the cake pan) After a few minutes the sugar will actually liquify and become a dark golden-brown or caramel color. Tip the pan to make the liquid cover the bottom evenly and begin to go up the sides of it. Place the pan in the freezer.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place inside it a roasting pan (big enough to hold the cake pan) half filled with water.
- Pour the condensed milk into a large bowl. Blend the water, cheese, eggs, vanilla and salt in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Whisk this into the bowl with the condensed milk. Pour it all through a wire sieve into the cake pan you have removed from the freezer.
- Carefully lower the cake pan into the pan of simmering water. Bake for 50 minute Check for doneness. Remove the flan from the oven and let it rest at room temp for an hour. Then place in fridge overnight and just before serving invert and unmold it. The lovely caramel you made will now be on top.

Steps:
- Step 1 Heat oven to 350°F. In small saucepan over medium high heat, add sugar and ½ cup water. Bring water to boil, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook sugar mixture, without stirring, until deep golden brown and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

Pour cream cheese mixture into prepared mold with caramel; cover tightly with foil. Place mold in larger, deep pan. Pour enough hot (not boiling) water into larger pan, until water comes halfway up sides of flan mold to form bain-marie. Step 3 Transfer pan to oven. Bake until flan is set (thin knife inserted into center will come out clean), 40-45 minutes. Remove flan mold from pan; discard foil. Let sit until cool. Transfer flan mold to refrigerator until chilled, at least 2 hours. To unmold, run thin knife around edges of flan. Invert onto serving plate. Cut into 12 pieces.
