Coconut Caramel Flan - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup sugar (I use Splenda Blend)
    2 tablespoons water
    1 (13 1/2 ounce) can low-fat evaporated milk
    1 (13 1/2 ounce) can low-fat condensed milk
    1 (8 ounce) package light cream cheese, softened
    1 (13 1/2 ounce) can coco lopez coconut cream
    5 eggs
    1 teaspoon almond extract
    3/4 cup flaked coconut
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. in a small saucepan, combine sugar and water and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Continue cooking until mixture is golden in color (about 4 minutes).
    Immediately pour mixture evenly into a 9-inch cake pan. (Mixture will harden and may crack slightly as it cools.)
    In a blender, blend evaporated milk, condensed milk, cream cheese, Coco Lopez, eggs y almond extract and then add coconut and mix well.
    Carefully pour mixture over caramelized sugar and place cake pan in a roasting pan, adding hot water to a depth of 1-inch in the roasting pan.
    Bake for about one hour or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake pan from water and cool on a wire rack at least 30 minutes.
    Cover and chill overnight. Loosen edges with a thin knife. Invert flan onto serving plate so caramel will be on the top.
