Flan Cheesecake

by Fred Ball

Servings: 6 servings

INGREDIENTS

10 tbsp. plus 2 tbsp. sugar, divided
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
5 egg yolks, beaten
1 can (13 oz.) evaporated milk
1 can sweetened condensed milk
13 oz. water, measured in milk can
1 tsp. vanilla
1 pinch salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Place 10 tbsp. sugar in a heavy skillet. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves into a light brown syrup. Pour immediately in flan pan or shallow dish and let cool and harden. In mixing bowl place cream cheese; add beaten egg yolks. Stir in both milks, water, vanilla, remaining sugar and salt. Blend with caramelized sugar and set in a pan of hot water. Bake at 350°F for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours. The flan will look soft but hardens in refrigerator. Be sure to chill thoroughly; it is better if it can be refrigerated overnight.

When ready to serve, invert on a flat plate. The flan will come out easily with the caramel sauce on top. Do not freeze.
