Puerto Rican flan de queso offers a delightful twist on the traditional flan by incorporating softened cream cheese, creating a custard that is both rich and easy to prepare. Unlike the classic recipe that balances milk, cream, and egg yolks, this version allows for blending all ingredients smoothly in a food processor or blender. The result is a lush, wobbly custard reminiscent of light cheesecake, crowned with a golden brown caramel sauce. Care must be taken when caramelizing sugar to achieve the perfect color without crystallization, ensuring a deliciously balanced dessert.
Traditional flan de leche relies on a delicate balance of milk and egg yolks, but Puerto Rican flan de queso's secret ingredient, softened cream cheese, makes it foolproof.
