Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can (12 oz.) evaporated milk
2 tsp. orange zest
8 cardamom pods, crushed
1-3/4 cups sugar, divided
2 Tbsp. MAXWELL HOUSE Instant Coffee, divided
1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, cubed, softened
5 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook milk, orange zest, cardamom, 3/4 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp. coffee in saucepan 5 to 7 min. or until sugar is dissolved, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Reserve for later use.
  • Meanwhile, cook water, corn syrup and remaining sugar in separate saucepan on medium heat 15 to 20 min. or until mixture is a light amber color, gently swirling pan every few minutes. (Do not stir.) Turn off heat. Add remaining coffee; stir until dissolved. Pour into 9-inch round pan; swirl to evenly coat bottom of pan with sugar mixture. Cool slightly.
  • Pour reserved milk mixture through fine-mesh strainer into blender or food processor container. Add cream cheese; blend until smooth. Add eggs; blend well. Carefully pour over syrup in pan.
  • Place filled 9-inch pan in larger pan, then place on middle rack in oven. Add enough water to larger pan to come halfway up side of 9-inch pan.
  • Bake 48 to 57 min. or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Remove flan from water bath; cool completely.
  • Refrigerate flan 4 hours. When ready to serve, place flan pan in larger pan filled with hot tap water. Let stand 2 min. Run knife around edge of pan to loosen flan; unmold onto plate.
