PREP: 25 MIN. + STANDING • BAKE: 50 MIN. + CHILLING • MAKES: 8-10 SERVINGS
3/4 cup sugar
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
5 large eggs
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. In a heavy saucepan, cook and stir the sugar over medium-low heat until melted and golden, about 15 minutes. Quickly pour it into an ungreased 2-qt. round baking or souffle dish, tilting to coat the bottom; let it stand for 10 minutes.
2. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until thoroughly combined. Add remaining ingredients; mix well. Pour over the caramelized sugar.
3. Place the dish in a larger baking pan. Pour boiling water into larger pan to a depth of 1 in. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle).
4. Remove the dish from a larger pan to a wire rack; cool it about 1 hour. Refrigerate overnight.
5. To unmold, run a knife around edges and invert onto a large rimmed serving platter. Cut into wedges or spoon onto dessert plates; spoon sauce over each serving.
