El Coquito Flan

 

So I was looking for something different to post and I found and experimented this recipe during the holidays... This was a little on the sweet side but it was delicious..

 

Good Luck..

 

 

Coquito Flan

2 cups coquito (yes, must have Puerto Rican rum, of course)
6 eggs
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare bain-Marie and caramelize the mold as per instructions at the top of this page. Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth add eggs and mix. Add the rest of the ingredients. Blend smooth but do not over mix. Pour custard into caramelized mold, cover with foil, and sit in the baño de María. Then pour hot water into the baño and into the oven for 1 to 1½ hours until done and knife comes clean.

 

 

Bien Provecho,
