Instructions

1

Make the caramel: heat sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat without stirring. Swirl the pan occasionally until the sugar turns a deep amber color. Immediately pour into a 9-inch round pan, tilting to coat the bottom.

Tip: Don't stir caramel while it cooks or it will crystallize. Once it starts to color, it goes from golden to burnt in seconds. Stay vigilant.

2

Preheat oven to 350F. Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, and cream cheese in a blender until completely smooth. Pour through a strainer over the caramel.

3

Place the pan in a larger roasting pan. Add hot water to the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides. Bake for 50-55 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly.

4

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). To unmold, run a knife around the edges, place a plate on top, and flip. The caramel will pool around the flan.
