Prepare your baking mold by making caramel with sugar in a saucepan; melt and cover the bottom of the mold with caramel.

In a blender, combine 6 masa pan, 2 whole eggs, and 8 oz cream cheese; blend until incorporated.

Transfer the blended mixture to a large container and add 1 cup evaporated milk and 1 cup sweetened condensed milk; whisk to combine.

Add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and mix well.

Pour the mixture into the caramel-coated baking mold and cover with foil.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 90 minutes; do not open the oven during baking.

After 90 minutes, let the flan sit at room temperature for a couple of hours before refrigerating it for a few hours or overnight.

To serve, run a spatula around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate.
