@Adriana, I tried as well and it was not working. I did not add water and it melted fine. Try it without the water.
I am having a hard time making the carmarlized bit I’m the beginning. I’ve tried this at least 3 times following the directions best I can and it hasn’t been working too well. Any suggestions?
Had this at a friends and yes very much like a cheesecake cross but so very delicious. I’ve never made flan before but will be making this!
Amazing! My family requests this for special celebrations. Sadly, there is never any leftovers.
I agree with @ cast_iron_king, my family is Cuban and I have been making Traditional Flan for the 40 years. This is more appropriately "Flan de Queso Crema (Cream cheese Flan)," as traditional flan does not contain cheese. But just for the sake of a new recipe that similar I will try the Cheese Cake flavor. @DawnMarieB
I've made this a few times now, and it is wonderful! I love flan, but this one is way better than most. I'm not sure how to comment on other people's reviews, but I'd like to respond to Gary who posted "Spoon sauce over each serving? No mention of sauce in recipe." The recipe makes its own sauce. The first time I made it, I thought I had done something wrong since the carmelized sugar turns as hard as glass after you pour it in the pan. But if you follow the directions which say to pour boiling water in the larger pan after you place the dish in it, the carmelized sugar never fails to turn to sauce when you turn it over.
“Spoon sauce over each serving”? No mention of sauce in recipe.
Made this it turned out beautiful! !! I will be making it again , for sure.
Not bad at all did exactly what the recipe said as well as left it uncovered came out Beautiful
First time making a flan and it was a hit! Perfect consistency! Not too wobbly or hard, not too sweet, just right. Husband loves it is flying off the fridge. Will definitely make it again. So easy to remember the recipe! <3 Love love love it! Thank you!
