Description
Our Queso flan, a perfect treat for cheesecake and flan enthusiasts alike. This dessert, enriched with cream cheese, offers a tangy twist to our classic Vainilla flan, serving bold tartness with a smooth, creamy texture.
Flavor
The flavor of cream cheese is rich and tangy, reminiscent of fresh dairy with a smooth texture that provides a slight saltiness. Its tanginess adds brightness, enhancing both sweet and savory dishes. In Queso flan, this tangy richness transforms into a luxurious dessert, resulting in a creamy custard that offers a delightful cheesecake-like flavor, perfectly complemented by the sweet caramel that adds a satisfying contrast.
Texture
In flan, texture is key. Our meticulously crafted recipe ensures a silky, creamy, and smooth delight that satisfies even the most discerning tastes. While the recipe is our secret, we invite you to indulge and discover the magic for yourself.
Did You Know?
Cheesecake is not really a cake—it’s a custard, just like flan. Both desserts are made from a base of dairy and eggs, giving them a rich, creamy consistency. The next time you enjoy a slice of cheesecake or a piece of quiche, you’ll be indulging in a close cousin of our beloved flan.

Flan Facts
- Cream cheese’s signature tang in Queso flan comes from lactic acid fermentation, where bacteria break down lactose into lactic acid, giving the flan that delightful tartness that balances its sweetness perfectly.
- Cream cheese in flan isn’t just for flavor—it’s a protein powerhouse. The proteins in the cream cheese help stabilize the custard, creating that thick, creamy texture we all crave in a Queso flan.
- When cream cheese meets heat, its fats and proteins form a smooth emulsion, giving Queso flan its ultra-creamy, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. It’s basically a science lab in dessert form!
