Classic Spanish Flan

Hi everyone, well the other night as I was scrolling  through a social network app, a very successful chef posted  a picture of this delicious dessert and by all means it did look delicious and I am sure it tasted absolutely divine! However I noticed that a lot of people were asking  for the recipe; so I said let me share my version of this absolutely delicious dessert. A  simple and the traditional way of making flan, the difference in my version that many have used in the past is that I use only 1/4 cup of cream cheese, making it with cream cheese it makes it a bit more solid and the taste is absolutely delicious.  Also keep in mind the following tips:  Keep your baking dish warm/hot in the oven while you make the flan, so that when you do pour your caramel (melted sugar) into it, the caramel doesn’t harden as quickly. When melting the sugar, be patient and keep the heat LOW because the sugar may brown too dark. Don’t worry if you still have small lumps of sugar in the end… they will dissolve when you bake the flan. As always Enjoy!! 🙂
