Preparation method
- Crack the eggs individually into a small bowl and transfer to a larger mixing bowl.
- Whisk the eggs gently with a wire whisk to combine yolks and whites.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and incorporate well into the egg mixture.
- Pour in the milk gradually, stirring gently to avoid forming air bubbles.
- Set the pudding batter aside.
- In a pan, melt the sugar over low heat until golden, stirring with a spatula.
- Carefully add 1/4 cup boiling water to the caramel syrup, watching out for splashes.
- Stir until the syrup is smooth.
- Pour the caramel into a 18 cm ring mold, rotating the mold with a cloth to coat the bottom and sides.
- Strain the pudding batter directly into the caramelized mold.
- Cover the mold, sealing it well with aluminum foil, folding the edges to secure it.
- Line the bottom of the pressure cooker with a folded kitchen towel.
- Add 3 cups of water to the pressure cooker for the bain-marie and place the mold inside.
- Close the pressure cooker and cook on low heat for 10 minutes after it reaches pressure.
- Release the pressure from the cooker carefully.
- Check if the surface of the pudding is firm; remove the mold carefully.
- Remove the aluminum foil and let the pudding cool at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before unmolding.
- To unmold, gently warm the bottom of the mold over the stove.
- Run a knife around the edges to loosen the pudding, cover with a deep plate, and invert in one quick motion.
Observations
Preparing flan in an electric pressure cooker speeds up the cooking time, allowing the dessert to be ready quickly. The secret to a smooth flan is to mix the ingredients without incorporating air and letting the batter rest before cooking.
