What You Need

cups sugar, divided

can (12 oz.) evaporated milk

pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed, softened

eggs

1/2

cup BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut, toasted

tsp. rum

1/8

tsp. salt

Make It

HEAT oven to 350°F.

COOK 1 cup sugar in small saucepan on medium heat until melted and deep golden brown, stirring constantly. Immediately pour into 9-inch round pan; tilt pan to evenly coat bottom. Set aside.

BLEND milk and cream cheese in blender until smooth. Add remaining sugar, eggs, coconut, rum and salt; blend until smooth. Pour over syrup; place 9-inch pan in large shallow pan. Add enough hot water to large pan to come halfway up side of 9-inch pan.

BAKE 50 min. to 1 hour or until knife inserted near center of flan comes out clean. Cool. Carefully remove flan from water. Refrigerate 4 hours. When ready to serve, invert pan onto plate to unmold flan.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Unmold Flan

Bake and refrigerate flan as directed. Run metal spatula or knife around edge of flan. Invert onto plate; shake gently to loosen. Gently twist to remove pan. To soften any remaining caramel in pan, dip bottom of pan in hot water; spoon caramel over flan.

Special Extra

Sprinkle with additional toasted BAKER'S ANGEL FLAKE Coconut just before serving.

Size-Wise

Enjoy a serving of this rich-and-indulgent treat on special occasions.

Let me tell you, this was one of the best flan recipes that I've ever made. It was gone within minutes and asked if there was another pie. You can't go wrong with it. The only thing that I did different was that I used 8oz of evap milk instead of 12oz. I can't wait to make it again.

Made this recipe for a church function-WOW! What a hit. Completely gone. Delicious plus, so easy and so impressive. It's great even if you don't like traditional flan.

This recipe gives the traditional flan a nice kick. I was very impressed with it. The flavors of the rum and coconut went well together.

I've made it twice so far and the 2nd time was even better than the first. I'd recommend heating the pan into which you're going to pour the melted sugar as the sugar will tend to set up too quickly to spread evenly.

I used low fat cream cheese and low fat evaporated milk. You can't tell the difference. Tastes like cheesecake. People at work loved it.

I made this for Thanksgiving dinner last year and it was a hit. With a variety of desserts to choose from everyone wanted more of this delicious flan. It's become one of my families favorites!
