Chocolate Cream Cheese Flan

Ingredients:
-- 1 cup granulated sugar
-- 1/2 cup of water
-- 1 can (12 fl. oz.) CARNATION Evaporated Milk
-- 1 can (14 oz.) CARNATION Sweetened Condensed Milk
-- 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
-- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
-- 2 packages (1 oz. each) NESTLE TOLL HOUSE Choco Bake Unsweetened Chocolate Flavor
-- 5 large eggs
-- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation time: 12 minutes

PREHEAT the oven to 350 F.

COMBINE sugar and water in a medium saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high and boil, without stirring, for about 15 minutes or until mixture is a caramel color. Quickly pour over bottom and sides of twelve 6-ounce custard cups (if the syrup hardens, melt over low heat).

PLACE evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, butter, the chocolate, eggs and vanilla extract in blender. Blend well. Pour mixture into prepared custard cups. Arrange in one or two large baking pans. Fill pans with hot water to 1-inch depths.

BAKE for 35 to 45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire racks for 20 minutes. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Run knife around rims. Gently shake to loosen flans. Invert onto serving dishes.
