If you're unfamiliar with flan, think of it as a tasty variation on custard. One warning, though—it's very filling. A small slice of flan goes a long way! —Pat Forete, Miami, Florida

My son hates flan, but loves cheesecake. This recipe is a hybrid between flan and cheesecake - leaning more towards cheesecake filling so he loves this. This is very easy to make, but it is very rich so a small serving should suffice.

I have been making this exact recipe for at least 20 years and is truly a winner , for variations you can change the vanilla for for almond ,rum,or orange extract ,,sometimes I add instant coffe and kahlua , you can also splinkle on top chopped wallnuts ,almonds,or make a design with a paper dolly and powdered sugar . This is the basic recipe but you can personalize it many ways.Enjoy!

We used this recipe to send to my son's school for a mexican project he was doing. It was a hit with the kids in his class and teacher. We made it yesterday for home and its awesome. Taste of Home is my lifesaver all the time.

This was soooo good. I just made this Flan this weekend however, I used only 4 oz of creme cheese...but I do not see where the full block would hurt...my granddaughter (5) love it.

Some tips: when caramelizing the sugar stir it continually until it is thin like liquid & make sure the baking dish is warm when pouring in the caramelized sugar; also, when the flan is done baking allow it to rest in the oven (with the heat turned off) until the oven cools to room temperature then refrigerate it overnight. It will turn out perfect!

I made this for book club and all the ladies loved it. Love the creamy texture. Best of all, it was much easier to make than I expected. I will absolutely make this again.
