Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.33 cup Guava paste
• 14 ounces Sweetened condensed milk
• 12 ounces Evaporated milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Hot water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, melt the 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until it becomes golden-brown caramel. Be cautious to avoid burning.

Step 3

Immediately pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan or flan mold. Swirl the pan quickly to evenly coat the bottom. Let the caramel cool and harden while preparing the flan mixture.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the cream cheese, guava paste, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

Step 5

Pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel layer in the pan.

Step 6

Place the flan pan into a larger baking dish and set it in the preheated oven. Carefully pour hot water into the larger baking dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the flan pan to create a water bath.

Step 7

Bake the flan for 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly when shaken.

Step 8

Remove the flan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Step 9

To unmold, run a knife around the edges of the flan. Place a plate larger than the pan on top and flip it over to release the flan onto the plate. The caramel sauce will flow over the top.

Step 10

Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy this tropical, creamy treat!
