If you are looking for a traditional dessert, that everyone likes and that is also easy to make, my recommendation is this delicious flan of cheese and caramel. It is traditional because in our Latin American homes we tend to sweeten special occasions with a homemade flan. Everyone likes it because in reality I still do not know the first person who does not like custard and it is easy to make, because your recipe does not exceed 5 ingredients or 5 steps to make it.
Wherever you see it is a winning dessert in every way and it is great to offer it at family gatherings or with friends. As I have been doing for a few Decembers, during the Novenas de aguinaldos. Some nights the guests are served custard and in others, custard and donuts. The combination is perfect and for that reason I share this delicious recipe at this time.
To prepare this cheese flan you need CARNATION® evaporated milk, condensed milk, 2 eggs, some fresh cheese and sugar to make the caramel. The process starts by liquefying the first four ingredients and then pouring the mixture into a mold previously caramelised with sugar. It is taken to the water bath for about 1 hour, it is left to cool down, once it is ready, it is demolded and now you can enjoy it!
The cheese flan can be prepared in a large mold or in small containers, in the form of individual portions. I did it this time using a silicone mold, divided into personal rations, greatly facilitating the desmoldado of the dessert. The key is always to let the flan cool enough so that it can be easily removed from the container.
I told you that the recipe had few ingredients and that one of them was evaporated milk. Well, I take this opportunity to tell you that as a novelty I found CARNATION® in tetra pack presentation; that is, a cardboard box with a lid, which can be stored more conveniently than a can, once it has been opened. As I only used the measure of a cup of evaporated milk, I will be able to add the remaining content in other recipes, sweet or salty, such as Arequipa custard or vegetable cremitas.
