How to Make Guava Cheese Flan
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a 9-inch round cake pan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
- Stir until sugar is slightly dissolved.
- Place pan on stovetop over medium heat.
- Cook sugar for 10-12 minutes, without stirring, until it turns a deep golden brown color. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Carefully swirl the pan (using oven mitts) to coat the bottom and sides with caramel. Be cautious as the caramel will be very hot.
- Place the pan on a wire rack to cool and allow the caramel to harden slightly.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, combine 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened; 1 (12 ounce) jar guava paste; 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk; 3 large eggs; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel in the pan.
- Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil.
- Place the cake pan in a larger, shallow baking pan.
- Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the cake pan (this creates a water bath).
- Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake pan from the water bath and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Carefully run a thin knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flan to chill completely and set.
- To unmold, invert the pan onto a large serving plate or pie dish.
- Garnish with fresh mango and kiwi slices, if desired.
