  • Add the sugar and white vinegar to a clean, dry pot. Heat over medium-low heat and occasionally swirl the pot without using any cooking utensils.
  • When the sugar has reached a medium golden color or caramel, remove from heat and immediately pour into a 25 cm round mold or flan mold. Let cool.
  • Blend the eggs, cream cheese, evaporated milk, condensed milk, half-and-half, and vanilla extract.
  • Grease the mold with butter and sprinkle with sugar to prevent the flan from sticking.
  • Carefully pour the flan mixture into the mold with caramel and cover with aluminum foil or the flan mold lid.
  • Bake the flan in a water bath at 200 °C for 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven in the water bath. Lightly uncover and let cool to room temperature. The temperature change should be gradual to prevent the flan from sinking.
  • Once cool, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes in the mold.
  • Unmold the vanilla flan onto the platter where you will serve it and enjoy.
