Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets or grocery stores in the baking and dairy aisles. Ensure you have a standard 18 cm ring mold (flan pan) that fits inside your pressure cooker.
Preparation method
- Crack the eggs individually into a small bowl and transfer them into a larger mixing bowl.
- Whisk the eggs gently with a wire whisk to combine the yolks and whites.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and incorporate it well into the egg mixture.
- Pour the milk in gradually, stirring delicately to avoid forming air bubbles.
- Set the flan batter aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the sugar over low heat until it reaches a golden color, stirring with a spatula.
- Carefully add 1/4 cup of boiling water to the caramel, being mindful of the splatters.
- Stir until the caramel becomes smooth and homogeneous.
- Pour the caramel into an 18 cm fluted ring mold, rotating the mold with a cloth to coat the bottom and sides.
- Sift the flan batter directly into the caramelized mold.
- Cover the mold securely with aluminum foil, folding the edges to seal it tightly.
- Line the bottom of the pressure cooker with a folded kitchen towel.
- Add 3 cups of water to the pressure cooker for the water bath and place the mold inside.
- Close the pressure cooker and cook over low heat for 10 minutes after it reaches pressure.
- Release the pressure from the cooker carefully.
- Check if the surface of the flan is firm; remove the mold with care.
- Remove the aluminum foil and let the flan cool to 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 sides to loosen the flan, place a deep plate on top, and invert it in one swift motion.
Observations
Preparing flan in a pressure cooker speeds up the cooking time, allowing the dessert to be ready quickly. The secret to a smooth, hole-free flan is to mix the ingredients gently without incorporating air and letting the batter rest before cooking.
