Every panaderia (bakery) in Puerto Rico has many flavors of flan, from vanilla to guava.

Reduced-fat cream cheese gives this version a rich, comforting texture.

Immediately, pour the caramel carefully into a 9-inch round metal cake pan.

Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer at medium-high speed until soft.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides.

Add condensed milk, evaporated milk and vanilla; mix until combined.

Carefully pour into the prepared pan.

(You may hear some cracking; the pan will be very full.)

Bake until golden and set at the edges but still wobbly at the center, about 1 hour.

A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

Transfer the cake pan to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.

Then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan and invert the flan onto a plate.
