1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160 degrees Celsius). This helps create a gentle cooking environment for your custard.

2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter gently. Once melted, add the cream cheese and stir until fully blended and smooth. This should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

3

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. This step is important so you don't cook the eggs when combining the mixture.

4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

5

Add the eggs to the milk mixture and whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

6

Gradually pour the melted butter and cream cheese mixture into the egg and milk mixture, whisking continuously to ensure everything is well mixed.

7

Pour the mixture into a baking dish and place it in a larger roasting pan. Fill the outer pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the baking dish for a water bath. This will help the custard cook evenly.

8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.

9

Remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

10

For serving, you can top it with whipped cream or fresh fruits for added flavor and texture.
