INGREDIENTS

  • Caramel base

    • 🍚 1 cup white sugar
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 💧 2 tablespoons water

  • Flan mixture

    • 🍫 1 (12 ounce) package white chocolate chips
    • 🧀 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    • 🧀 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
    • 🥛 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
    • 🥛 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
    • 🥚 3 eggs

STEPS

1

Combine white and brown sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve the sugar completely, but stop stirring once the mixture comes to a boil to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.

2

Swirl the pan gently to redistribute the caramel as the sugar begins to darken. Cook to about 310 degrees F (160 degrees C), or until the sugar turns light golden brown. Remove from heat immediately.

3

Pour the caramel in an 8-inch baking dish, coating the bottom and sides of the dish. Let caramel harden, about 5 minutes.

4

Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

5

Melt the white chocolate in a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, for 1 to 3 minutes.

6

Cream together the cream cheese, mascarpone cheese, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and melted white chocolate in a bowl until smooth.

7

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the hardened caramel.

8

Place baking dish in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with about 1-inch water.

9

Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

10

Refrigerate until completely chilled, approximately 5 to 6 hours.

11

To serve, run a paring knife along the edges of the baking dish to loosen the flan. Cover the baking dish with a plate and invert it to release the flan onto the plate.
