1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 (12-ounce) can NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
1 (14-ounce) can NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Combine sugar and water in a medium saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes or until dissolved. Increase heat to medium-high; boil, without stirring, for about 15 minutes or until caramel colored. Quickly pour over bottom and sides of 12 (6-ounce) custard cups (if syrup hardens, soften over low heat).
3. Place evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, butter, Choco Bake, eggs and vanilla extract in blender container; cover. Blend well. Pour mixture into prepared custard cups. Arrange in one or two large pans; fill pans with hot water to 1-inch depth, creating a water bath.
