[@Franchesca2095]

Actually, that's a type of flan well known in Puerto Rico. It's a "Flan de Queso" or a cheese flan. Not all flans are made with the basic custard recipe. We also have variants like the coconut flan or pumpkin flan. And most of the time, Puerto Ricans will add a package of cream cheese to the custard to make it less eggy anyway. So, the cheese flan is THE FLAN we make in Puerto Rico.

[@777Jonathan777]

In Venezuela is called Quesillo. Delicious

[@lisax.8669]

Sounds so delicious 😋

[@gisellefrias2686]

I was just about to coment that. I love to use cream cheese and coconut milk and coconut cream for my flans

What I actually like about chef John , is that by just looking at his food I feel that he makes the recipes with love and happiness ,so how could I feel if I tasted his food??!!!!

[@texasshopper6331]

Chef John, I am from Puerto Rico and we make flan with cream cheese all the time. We call it flan de queso. A tip for making the caramel: an easy and fool-proof method is to make it in the microwave! For each 1 cup sugar, add 1/4 cup water. Mix together in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 7-10 minutes. Start checking at the 7 minute mark, then stay by the microwave keeping an eye on it. As soon as it turns amber colored it is done.

[@miyounova]

But then it's not a dry caramel

[@ihndz9824]

The caramel is the same whether you make it on the stove or the microwave. Keep in mind that once it is poured in the mold it will harden no matter what. I HAVE DONE IT BOTH WAYS HUNDREDS OF TIMES AND NOTHING CHANGED, ALL GOOD

[@texasshopper6331]

Camille The caramel hardens as it cools down, it is not automatically hard/dry when you cook it. Whether you make it on the stovetop or microwave, you will get a liquid. Once you pour that into your mold and it cools, that is when it hardens. Once it is hardened, and baked in a Bain Marie, it turns liquid again.

[@darkwinter8]

Two of some of my favorite desserts in one. Count me in!

[@Mynameismamalana]

Made this on Valentine’s Day for my mom! I was nervous but it turned out great and she loved it! Thanks chef John :)

[@fullmoneyalchemist833]

[@TashJansson]

Looks delish!!! Will be trying this over the weekend for sure! we have a dish called flan de queso here in spain, literally cheese flan, and it's made pretty much exactly like yours but with more cream cheese and without **full-body shudders** parm in there. The texture is slightly more creamy than that of a classic flan, and the flavor is much much more complex. A win-win, if you ask me.

[@tonikataylor8267]

[@SarahLovesFood]

Ooh, I love this! I make mine with a guava topping. Because I am after all the Martin Yan of how I top my cheesecake flan.

[@badr....]

🤣🤣🤣

[@jacobsmith9282]

"you have too admit it is pretty good clickbait" so wholesome, not only did I smile, I immediately clicked the like button

[@LindaC616]

I like the idea of the topping, Chef, as well as the dry caramel (the way I was taught)--don't worry if it doesn't cover the entire bottom of the ramekin or pan; it'll all come out in the wash. I might try the crust, next time I make small ones. As Franchesca says below, the cream cheese is typical of the Puerto Rican-style flan (which can convert people who normally don't like the consistency of flan). The recipe I was taught makes more than 4 servings-just as well, for those who like it. I've found that combining the softened cream cheese (3 oz) with the can of condensed milk first takes care of all of the little cheese crumbles, and makes it smooth. Then add 2 cans evaporated milk, 4 eggs, and any kind of flavoring you want (1t vanilla, or toasted coconut, or cinnamon, etc.) I was also taught to bake it at 400-425 for 40 minutes, but to start with a cold oven. Seems to work fine, though that's an 8x8 pan, so for smaller ones, I'd shorten the time. This dish always impresses people because it looks so elegant, but once you learn how not to burn the caramel, it's easy, done in 10 minutes, stick it in the oven and walk away. Btw, I'll stir the caramel with a wooden spoon, you just have to soak that spoon after, or rinse it in extremely hot water.
