You are a delight and so funny to listen to. haha! cheesecake and flan, automatic click, and I don't care if other cultures have made cheese flan for decades, THIS was your experiment, and original on it's own. Mahalo!

[@holasarrita]

I love the cadence of Chef John’s voice. He talks like he’s singing. It’s very calming.

[@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

[@jor2833]

The coconut sounds great!

[@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.

[@dongemus]

"[Make this for Valentine's Day] if you want to increase your chances of getting LLLLLL.... ... Lots of compliments" Lol, Ok Chef John, we all know what you implied there 😉 😂

[@kimberlycianciolo3729]

Chef John, My husband and I thoroughly enjoy your videos and recipes. My husband is the primary cook in our home. Now that we are older and watching our diets for healthy recipes, we wish you could teach us to convert some recipes to Keto. We have learned we can eat Butter, Bacon and Salt. It's not a diet, it is a healthy life style!

[@meinoly809]

Cheesecake Flan is a thing. It’s called Quesillo or Flan de Queso. It’s a family favorite at my house. Good video!

[@keithelkins4330]

I appreciate your honesty and to still present a non-perfect dish. I am going to try this without the crust

[@reereh]

The Valentine's day reference: "Increase your chance of getting LLLLL... lots of compliments." 👌🏾😂😂😭 nicely played out.

[@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.

Good lord how do you only have 2.8M followers when those human wastoids Kardashians have ten times as many?! I love the production quality and how you so amazingly simply explain how to create these dishes. The production quality is so good that I bet I could make most of these simply by watching the video while cooking, ensuring my dish looked like yours as throughout the steps. I honestly can't think of another channel on KZbin that does it this well.

[@xlink010]

Great video. Quick tip: Lightly tap each ramekin with the uncooked flan mixture on the bottom to eliminate some bubbles formed before cooking.

[@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.

[@Wagomorph]

Without the crumbs, this resembles Venezuelan quesillo. Looks fantastic!!

[@StarAnyse]

Voila! My first Flan baking and eating. Lovely results! Used mascarpone as additional cheese. A bit "eggy" for me but suspect it will be better tomorrow. I'm a huge cheesecake fan & was hoping for more like that. The caramel bit is awesome, though...

[@neftalyroman3654]

Hello Chef. I tried your recipe and while my cheesecake Flan where cooling down at room temperature, I mixed Graham cracker crumb with the cheesecake flan custard left over and poured it in a cup, heated it up in my microwave for 2:30 mins and it came out like a pudding. It was really good. I don't know if you knew about that, but you should try it. I didn't measure the custard left over and the crumb, but the mixture was liquid but getting to the point of getting thick. I don't know how to explain it, but if you get it right, you should do a video. Instant Cheesecake Graham Pudding Mug or something like that. Keep it going. Love your recipes.

[@nikosganadakis5218]

For making the dry caramel, I have a different sort of advice; don't add the sugar all in one go, but in at least 3 doses. This way, even if it starts to burn, you can save it while at the same time keeping the glycemic count a bit lower. Stirring is still a no-no, but do feel free to take the pan off the heat for a few seconds if it starts caramelizing too fast for you to handle. Best spend a couple extra minutes than ending up with a burnt caramel, right? For the biscuit base; what if you made the bases separate from the flans? Break the crumbs, mix in the butter (and assorted flavors of course), use moulds of identical size as your flan to create the base and refridgerate. Then place the base and invert on top. This should keep the base a bit dryer and crunchier as it won't have time to absorb humidity. You could also bake the biscuit base for a few minutes for a fluffier, even crunchier mouthfeel.

Hola Chef John, "flan de queso" is a thing that exists here in Spain and it is amazing. I don't think that they put any hard cheeses in it but this recipe still seems to be more or less the same. So if anybody is going to have authenticity issues with this, they can go to the carajo.
