Southern Living Cheesecake Flan
- Ready In:
- 1hr 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Yields:
-
1 9" flan
- Serves:
- 6-8
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 3 slices white bread, crusts removed
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 (8 ounce) carton mascarpone cheese (1 cup)
- 1 cup evaporated milk
- 2⁄3 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
directions
- Sprinkle sugar in a heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until sugar melts and turns light brown.
- Remove from heat. QUICKLY pour hot caramel into a 9" round cakepan, tilting to coat bottom; set pan aside. (Caramel will harden and crack).
- Combine eggs and remaining 7 ingredients in a large food processor or blender. Process just until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides.
- Pour custard mixture over the caramel syrup in cake pan.
- Place cakepan in a large shallow pan. Cover cakepan with aluminum foil.
- Add hot water to shallow pan to depth of 1".
- Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until knife inserted off center comes out clean. (Center should still be slightly liquid; flan will finish cooking as it cools).
- Remove cakepan from water bath; cool flan completely on a wire rack (while still in cakepan).
- Cover and chill for several hours or overnight. Loosen edges of flan with a spatula and invert flan onto a rimmed serving plate, letting caramel sauce drizzle over the top.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I was born in Oklahoma, raised in Fort Smith, Arkansas, went to college both in Lewisville, Texas and near Cleveland, Ohio. I met my husband who went to law school in Cleveland and much to my southern families dismay, have lived here in Ohio for 18 years. If I could have the best of both worlds, I would live in Ohio during the summer and fall and live in Arkansas for the winter and spring.
I am a mom of 5 children. Three girls and 2 boys and we have homeschooled them from the beginning. I love having my kids around but do enjoy getting to travel with my husband for overnight trips.
My husband and I are big Nascar fans. His favorite driver is Tony Stewart and mine is Kevin Harvick. This works out well except for when Harvick wrecks Stewart or vice versa. We often host Nascar parties in our home so I am constantly checking this website for great recipes with many reviews.
