Flan De Queso Crema Con Cajeta Recipes

FLAN DE QUESO (CREAM CHEESE FLAN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Fill a large oven-safe pot with water to 1 inch; bring to a boil.
• Place sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until smooth.
• Place sugar in an even layer in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until edges start to brown, about 1 minute; drag sugar into the center with a spatula once the edges start to brown. Continue cooking, stirring from time to time, until caramel is an even golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Pour caramel into a 9-inch flan mold or baking pan; swirl so that caramel reaches 1 inch up the sides. Pour condensed milk mixture on top. Place mold in the pot of boiling water.
• Bake flan in the preheated oven until a damp table knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
• Chill flan in the refrigerator until firm, 2 to 3 hours. Invert onto a serving plate so that caramel is on top.

FLAN DE QUESO CREMA

Steps:

• Melt the sugar in an 8 inch cake pan (preferably a coated one). To do this, put the pan directly over a medium heat burner stirring continually (You can also do this in a sauce pan and pout into the cake pan) After a few minutes the sugar will actually liquify and become a dark golden-brown or caramel color. Tip the pan to make the liquid cover the bottom evenly and begin to go up the sides of it. Place the pan in the freezer.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and place inside it a roasting pan (big enough to hold the cake pan) half filled with water.
• Pour the condensed milk into a large bowl. Blend the water, cheese, eggs, vanilla and salt in a blender or food processor until very smooth. Whisk this into the bowl with the condensed milk. Pour it all through a wire sieve into the cake pan you have removed from the freezer.
• Carefully lower the cake pan into the pan of simmering water. Bake for 50 minute Check for doneness. Remove the flan from the oven and let it rest at room temp for an hour. Then place in fridge overnight and just before serving invert and unmold it. The lovely caramel you made will now be on top.

CAJETA FLAN WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• PREHEAT oven to 350°F Place 1 cup of the sugar in small heavy saucepan; cook on medium heat until sugar is melted and deep golden brown, stirring constantly with wooden spoon. Remove from heat. Immediately pour into 9-inch round baking pan; tilt pan to evenly cover bottom of pan with syrup. Set aside.
• PLACE milk and cream cheese in blender; cover. Blend until smooth. Add remaining 1 cup sugar, the eggs, vanilla and salt; cover. Blend just until smooth; add cajeta and pour into prepared baking pan. Place filled baking pan in larger baking pan; add enough hot water to larger pan to come halfway up side of smaller pan.
• BAKE 50 minute to 1 hour or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool. Carefully remove flan from water. Cool on wire rack.
• REFRIGERATE several hours or unti chilled. When ready to serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan. Then, invert pan onto serving plate to unmold flan. Store any leftovers in refrigerator. If you have trouble getting the caramel out of the pan, place the bottom of the pan in hot water and then spoon the caramel on the flan.
