Servings: persons

¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
¾ cup softened low-fat cream cheese, plus
2 tablespoons softened low-fat cream cheese
¾ cup sweetened condensed milk, plus
2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
½ cup evaporated milk, plus
2 tablespoons evaporated milk
½ cup half-and-half, plus
2 tablespoons half-and-half
3 large eggs
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1
Preheat the oven to 275.
2
In a small, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and lemon juice and cook over moderately low heat until an amber caramel forms, 6 to 8 minutes.
3
Immediately pour the hot caramel into six 1-cup ramekins, swirling them to coat the bottoms.
4
In a blender, combine the cream cheese with the condensed and evaporated milks, half-and-half, eggs and vanilla and blend on medium speed until smooth.
5
Refrigerate the custard for 10 minutes, skim off the foam and pour the custard into the prepared ramekins.
6
Set the ramekins in a small roasting pan; add enough boiling water to reach halfway up the side of the ramekins.
7
Bake the flans for about 1 1/2 hours or until they are set and a toothpick inserted in the centers come out almost clean.
8
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
9
To unmold each flan, set the bottom of the ramekin in a pan of hot water for about 1 minute.
10
Run a thin blade around the edge of the flan and cover with a plate.
11
Invert the plate and shake once or twice; the flan should release easily.
12
Serve with whipped cream and berries.
