Cream Cheese Flan

Ingredients:

3/4 cups of sugar.
1 Package of cream cheese
3 eggs
1 can of condensed milk
1 cup of evaporated milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla

Directions:

First, you are going to take a small pan and put it on the stove on medium temperature. Add all of the sugar and start mixing in the same direction. Keep mixing until the sugar becomes a caramel consistency. Pour the caramel into a small dish that you are able to put in the oven. In your blender, put the eggs, cream cheese, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and vanilla. Blend until it is smooth. Now you are able to pour the ingredients on top of the caramel on the dish. Now there's a special thing that we do. It is called "Bano de Maria" This where we have a larger dish (that can be placed in the oven) and we fill it with about an inch water. We then, place the dish with ingredients inside of it. This will help the flan cook better. Place it in the oven at 350 for around 25 minutes. To check if it's ready, put a clean knife through it. If the knife comes out wet, it is not done. If it comes out clean, it's done.
