Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 396 grams Sweetened condensed milk
- 354 milliliters Evaporated milk
- 226 grams Cream cheese
- 5 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves completely and turns into a golden caramel. This process takes about 8-10 minutes. Be cautious not to burn the caramel.
Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan or flan mold, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to let the caramel cool and harden.
In a blender, combine the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture through a fine-mesh strainer directly into the caramel-coated pan to remove any air bubbles or lumps.
Place the filled flan mold into a larger baking dish. Carefully add hot water to the larger baking dish until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan mold, creating a water bath to ensure gentle cooking.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to fully set.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Place a serving plate upside down over the mold and carefully flip it to release the flan. The caramel sauce will flow over the top as a glossy glaze.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy Flan Napolitano!
