This is the best flan you will ever taste. The cream cheese takes away the "egginess" that most flan's have. The water bath ensures that the custard does not burn and that the carmel turns into a wonderful sauce. I LOVE FLAN! FLANY FLANY FLAN!!!! I know I'm destined to be flan in my next life because I love it so much!
