To enjoy, simply open the container and serve chilled. It can be eaten directly from the package or spooned into individual serving dishes.

Unlike traditional crème caramel, this version incorporates cream cheese, which adds a subtle tanginess and a denser, richer texture. The caramel topping provides a classic sweetness that complements the creamy cheese base, creating a more complex flavor profile than a standard custard.
