Cream Cheese Flan



I found this recipe at Kraft.com. When I was in Idaho, my sister in-law made Flan for us and I really liked it so I wanted to come home and try it. Everyone really liked it. Anything with a little cream cheese in it is har to pass up. I am not sure that I have ever tried a recipe with cream cheese as an ingredient that I didn't like.
Cream Cheese Flan
INGREDIENTS FOR 8 SERVINGS:
2 C. Sugar, Divided
1 Can (12 oz.) Evaporated Milk
1 Pkg. (8oz.) Cream Cheese, Softened
5 Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
Dash of Salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat oven to 350. Cook 1 cup sugar in small saucepan on medium heat until sugar is melted and deep golden brown, stirring constantly. Pour into 9-inch round pan, tilt pan to evenly cover bottom with syrup. Blend milk and cream cheese in blender until smooth. Add remaining sugar, eggs, vanilla and slat; blend until smooth. Pour over syrup in pan. Place filled pan in larger pan; add enough hot water to larger pan to come halfway up side of smaller pan. Bake 50 minutes to 1 hour or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool slightly. Carefully remove flan from water. Cool completely on wire rack. Refrigerate several hours or until chilled. Unmold onto a plate just before serving. ENJOY!
