INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Crush the Cookies:

    Begin by crushing Maria-type cookies in a blender until they reach a fine consistency. Next, mix the crushed cookies with melted butter until the mixture resembles sand. This step is crucial for creating a delicious base that holds the flan together. The combination of cookies and butter will give your flan a delightful, crunchy texture to this flan recipe.

  2. Prepare the Crust:

    Proceed by covering the bottom of your flan mold with the cookie and butter mixture. Press it down firmly to ensure it forms an even, compact layer. This creates a sturdy foundation for the flan and adds a rich, buttery flavor to each bite.

  3. Cook the Cream and Cheese:

    In a saucepan, cook the cream with Cheddar cheese over medium heat. Stir continuously to avoid boiling. The goal is to melt the cheese completely into the cream, forming a smooth mixture. This step is essential for ensuring a creamy and flavorful flan filling.

  4. Add Gelatin and Cinnamon:

    Once the cream and cheese mixture is well combined, add the gelatin and cinnamon stick. Stir until the gelatin is fully dissolved. This will help the flan set properly and infuse it with a warm, aromatic flavor from the cinnamon.

  5. Cool the Mixture:

    Allow the mixture to cool slightly, but ensure it does not begin to set. Cooling is important to prevent lumps from forming when you pour the mixture into the mold. This step helps maintain a smooth texture in your final flan.

  6. Fill and Refrigerate:

    Carefully fill the prepared mold with the cooled mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula for an even surface. Place the mold in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours. This chilling time is essential for the flan to set properly and achieve the perfect consistency.

  7. Serve and Enjoy:

    Finally, once the flan has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Carefully unmold and serve your delightful Cheddar Paisa Cheese Flan. This flan recipe offers a rich and creamy dessert that's perfect for any occasion. Enjoy the sweet, cheesy goodness with your family and friends!
