In mixing bowl, place cream cheese; add beaten egg yolks. Stir in both milks, water, vanilla, remaining sugar and salt. Blend with caramelized sugar and set in a pan of hot water. Bake at 350 for 1½ to 1 ¾ hr.

When ready to serve, invert on a flat plate, and teh flan will come out easily with the caramel sauce on top. Do not freeze.
