Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and place 6 ramekins in a baking dish with high sides. Set aside for the water bath.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the sugar and continue mixing until well combined.
-
Incorporate the vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, blending until evenly distributed.
-
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency.
-
Slowly pour in the milk while continuing to mix the batter until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
-
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to ensure a velvety texture, removing any lumps.
-
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
-
Carefully pour hot water into the baking dish around the ramekins, being cautious not to get any water into the flans.
-
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until the flans are set but still slightly jiggly in the middle.
-
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let the flans cool in the water bath before transferring them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
-
Once chilled, run a knife around the edge of each flan and invert them onto individual plates for serving.
-
Garnish with fresh berries, a mint leaf, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a touch of elegance.
