This luxurious Flan de Queso is a beloved Brazilian dessert that combines the smoothness of traditional flan with the tangy richness of cream cheese. The result is an incredibly dense, silky custard that sets firmly yet melts in your mouth. Infused with vanilla and sweetened condensed milk, it offers a deep, comforting flavor profile. The homemade caramel sauce adds a perfect bitter-sweet contrast to the creamy cheese base. While it requires a bit of patience for the water bath baking process, the effort is rewarded with a sophisticated, restaurant-quality dessert. It is perfect for dinner parties, holidays, or any occasion where you want to impress guests with a show-stopping finale.

Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
In a blender or food processor, combine 6 whole eggs, 5 egg yolks, 2 cans of sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup vanilla extract, and 10 oz cream cheese cut into small cubes.
-
Blend the mixture on high speed for about 10 minutes until completely smooth and airy, scraping down the sides as needed.
-
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup water. Cook over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally but do not stir, until the sugar melts and turns a deep amber color.
-
Remove from heat and carefully pour the hot caramel into 12 individual ovenproof ramekins or a single large flan mold, tilting to coat the bottom.
-
Pour the blended cheese mixture evenly into the caramel-lined dishes.
-
Place the ramekins in a large roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
-
Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
-
Remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edge and invert onto a plate, allowing the caramel sauce to drizzle over the top.
