Warm up a pan on medium low heat.

Add 3/4 cup of sugar to the pan and let it dissolve on its own.

Once the sugar turns into a dark brown caramel color, turn off the heat.

Quickly add the caramel to the baking dish, being careful not to touch the hot caramel.

Spread the caramel around the bottom of the baking dish and set it aside.

In a blender, add the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, half a cream cheese bar, eggs, and a splash of vanilla.

Blend the mixture for about a minute.

Pour the mixture directly into the mold over the caramel.

Cover the mold with aluminum foil.

Place the mold inside another pan with hot water, covering half of the mold.

Bake at 350°F for 1 hour.

Check if it's ready by poking it with a knife; if it comes out clean, it's ready.

Once cooled, refrigerate overnight.

To serve, unstick the edges with a knife, flip it over, and enjoy.
