Raul: This is a very simple recipe! It's prepared like flan, tastes like cheesecake. A traditional homemade Cuban favorite!

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese

1 tablespoon white vinegar

For caramel:

3/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup water

Preheat oven to 350° F.

This painting represents the dual culture of Cuban-Americans here symbolized by both the traditional espresso coffee pot -- for those cafe con leches -- and the ubiquitous American drip coffee maker, which is found in offices, work sites, and most American homes.

Tony has sold many of these at art shows around Florida. It is especially popular with Cuban-Americans who live this dual culture. Also a great gift for Cubans married to Americans!
