Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until custard is set and top is light brown, about 1 hour.

Step 3

Heat together sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves into a light brown caramel, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour into a round glass baking dish.

Step 4

Place condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, cream cheese, and vanilla in a blender; blend into a smooth custard. Pour over caramelized sugar in the baking dish.

Step 5

Place the baking dish in a deep baking pan. Pour in enough water to reach halfway up the sides of the baking dish.
