How to do:
Start by dissolving the cheese with the cream in a bain-marie.

In a saucepan, combine the sugar with the water and heat until it reaches 107ºC.

Pour this syrup, carefully, into the yolks, previously separated and beaten, slowly and always stirring.

Add the cheese and cream mixture to the yolks.

Pour the mixture into greased caramel molds.

Bake in a bain-marie at 160ºC, covered with aluminum foil, for 30 minutes.

After this time remove the aluminum and let it cook for another 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool.

Enjoy it!
