Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 397 grams sweetened condensed milk
- 354 milliliters evaporated milk
- 226 grams cream cheese
- 150 grams guava paste
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters water (for caramel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Prepare a 9-inch round baking dish or flan mold.
In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves completely.
Continue heating the sugar mixture, without stirring, until it turns a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes. Quickly pour the caramel into the base of the baking dish, tilting the pan to evenly coat the bottom. Set aside to cool and harden.
In a blender, combine the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, guava paste, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and fully combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the blended mixture over the cooled caramel in the baking dish.
Place the baking dish inside a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the baking dish, creating a water bath.
Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the flan is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
When ready to serve, run a knife around the edges to loosen the flan. Place a serving plate over the baking dish and carefully flip it to release the flan onto the plate, allowing the caramel to flow over the top.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy, tropical Guava Flan!
