Low
  • Preheat the oven to 150° C.
  • Cook the caramel ingredients in a pot over low heat until a thick caramel forms with small bubbles, being careful not to stir to avoid crystallizing the sugar. Pour hot into a flan mold 20 to 25 cm in diameter, carefully place the pineapples, and let it set.
  • For the flan, in a small pot, cook the milk with the vanilla and evaporated milk, add the cream cheese and cook until dissolved. Beat the eggs with the condensed milk in a bowl and add to the pot, cook for 5 minutes or until thickened, stirring constantly.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into the mold with caramel, cover with aluminum foil, and bake in a water bath for about 1 and a half hours. Let it cool slightly and unmold.
  • Decorate the flan with canned cherries and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
