Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Step 2

Place sugar in small skillet over medium-high heat and stir while it liquefies. Let sugar boil until it caramelizes to a walnut brown, stirring occasionally. Watch carefully so that it does not burn.

Step 3

Pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch flan pan or soufflé dish. Working very quickly, spread caramel evenly with a rubber spatula over the bottom of the pan. Note: Caramel will be VERY hot. Handle with caution.

Step 4

Place eggs, yolks, vanilla, milks, and cream cheese in a blender or food processor and process at least 5 minutes. Pour mixture into flan pan on top of caramel.

Step 5

Set flan pan into larger baking pan and place in the center of the oven. Pour boiling water halfway up the sides of the pan to create water bath.

Step 6

Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Watch carefully and cover the flan with foil if the top seems to be getting too brown.

Step 7

Remove from oven and cool to room temperature, then cut around the edges and invert onto a deep-sided serving plate. Serve each piece with some of the caramel syrup. Note: Flan can be made as long as three days before serving and kept refrigerated covered with plastic wrap. Leave in the pan until ready to serve.
