Coconut milk offers a dairy-free option.

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: regular milk

Almond milk is a lighter alternative.

Gather all ingredients: sweet condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and eggs.

In a saucepan, add 1 cup of sugar and melt it over medium heat, stirring continuously until it turns into caramel without burning.

Pour the melted caramel into a 9-inch round pan, ensuring it coats every corner before it hardens.

In a blender, add the room temperature cream cheese and blend until smooth.

Add the sweet condensed milk, evaporated milk, 4 eggs, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the blender and blend until fully combined.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Pour the blended mixture into the caramel-coated pan.

Place the pan in a larger pan and fill the larger pan halfway with warm water to create a water bath.

Bake in the oven for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, check the flan by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

Once done, remove the flan from the oven and let it cool for a bit before refrigerating for 2 to 4 hours.

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the pan.

Place a deep plate over the pan and flip it over to release the flan, allowing the caramel to drizzle over it.
