Puerto Rican Flan De Queso Cheese Flan Food

FLAN DE QUESO (PUERTO RICAN STYLE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat, gently swirling the pan (do not stir), until the mixture turns golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Immediately, pour the caramel carefully into a 9-inch round metal cake pan. If it stiffens before it completely covers the bottom of the pan, warm the pan in the oven, then swirl to cover the bottom. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer at medium-high speed until soft. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides. Add condensed milk, evaporated milk, coconut cream, sugar and vanilla; mix until combined. Carefully pour into the prepared pan. (You may hear some cracking; the pan will be very full.) Place the cake pan in a larger pan and pour enough hot water around it to come 1 inch up the sides. Bake until golden and set at the edges but still wobbly at the center, about 1 hour. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean. Transfer the cake pan to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert the flan onto a plate.

PUERTO RICAN FLAN DE QUESO - CREAM CHEESE FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees (F) and make sure all of your ingredients are room temperature. This is very important
• Heat a small sauce pan to medium-low heat, and add sugar (this will make your caramel sauce.)
• Allow sugar to slowly melt without stirring. Instead, swirl the melted sugar to ensure there are no clumps. This also allows the sugar to regulate its heat and not burn.
• While the sugar is melting, quickly prepare the flan custard by mixing the eggs, cans of milks, cream cheese and vanilla extract. You can mix by hand using a whisk or by using a blender.
• Mix until cream cheese is fully incorporated and smooth. If there are small clumps leftover, don't worry.
• After 6-10 minutes, sugar should be fully melted and resemble a dark amber color. If so, turn off heat and pour the sugar into a round baking dish. Swirl to ensure even coverage.
• Still working quickly, to avoid the sugar from hardening, pour the flan custard through a mesh strainer to remove any access clumps.
• Add the strained custard on top of the warm sugar and place round baking dish into a water bath. Hot water should reach 1 inch up the side.
• Bake for 40 minutes to 1 hour or until flan is set and center is slightly jiggly.
• Once done, remove from oven and rest flan in water bath for 2 hours. Then remove round dish from water bath and cool overnight in fridge.
• To serve, place large plate on top of round dish, flip and enjoy!
