**Recipe For Flan Cheese Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 4 large eggs
– 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
– 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup water
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place a baking dish filled with water on the bottom rack to create a water bath for baking the flan cheese cake.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar. Stir occasionally until the sugar melts and turns into a golden caramel color. Be careful not to burn it. Once it reaches the desired color, quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan. Tilt the pan to ensure the caramel covers the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
3. Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
4. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined and smooth.
5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the hardened caramel in the cake pan. Tap the pan gently on the countertop to remove any air bubbles.
6. Carefully place the cake pan into the water bath in the preheated oven. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the center is set. To check if it’s done, gently shake the pan, and the flan cheese cake should have a slight wobble in the center.
7. Once done, remove the cake pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to chill and set.
8. To serve, run a sharp knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the flan cheese cake. Place a serving plate on top of the pan, then carefully invert the cake onto the plate. The caramel will create a delicious sauce that drizzles over the cake.
Indulge in each creamy and decadent bite of this Flan Cheese Cake, where the smooth flan meets the rich cheesecake for a delightful dessert experience. It’s a wonderful option for gatherings, special occasions, or simply a sweet treat after a cozy dinner at home.
