Cream Cheese Custard (Flan)

 Christy M (California) says:
Way too much cream cheese! Too heavy. Cut the cream cheese back to at least 8 oz (I use 4 oz) and use 1/2 can of the evap milk mixed with 7 oz of half-and-half. Additionally, when making the syrup, add 1/4 cup of water to the sugar...it will turn out much better.
