Caramelize Sugar: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Cook until it turns into a deep golden caramel. Pour into a baking dish and let it harden.
Prepare Flan Mixture: Preheat oven. Blend condensed milk, evaporated milk, cream cheese, eggs, and vanilla. Strain the mixture and pour into the baking dish.
Bake: Cover with foil, place in a water bath, and bake until set.
