Instructions
Place sugar into a 9-inch ring mold and cook over medium-high heat
stirring constantly
until sugar melts and turns golden

about 20 minutes.
Combine sweetened condensed milk
evaporated milk
eggs
cream cheese
and vanilla extract in a blender; blend until smooth
about 1 minute. Pour mixture over the hard caramel syrup in the tin and cover with aluminum foil. Pierce foil in the center hole of the ring with a knife; peel back foil
leaving hole uncovered for steam to circulate.
Place a metal rack inside a large pot over medium heat. Add water to almost reach the rack; bring to a boil. Place the mold on the rack
cover the pot
and steam until flan is set and firm
about 45 minutes. Unmold flan onto a serving plate and let cool before serving.
