Where to find ingredients
Sweetened condensed milk, eggs, milk, sugar, and water can be found at most grocery stores. Look for evaporated milk and sugar in the baking aisle. Eggs and milk are typically found in the dairy section.
Method
- Break the eggs individually into a small bowl and transfer to a larger container
- Use a whisk to gently mix the egg whites and yolks
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and incorporate well
- Pour in the milk gradually and stir gently to avoid creating air bubbles
- Let the mixture rest while you prepare the caramel
- Heat 3 cups of water in a kettle to use for the caramel and for the bain-marie
- Place the sugar in a pan over low heat, stirring with a spatula until golden
- Carefully add 1/4 cup of boiling water to the caramel, being mindful of splattering
- Stir until the mixture is smooth
- Pour the caramel into a 7-inch (18 cm) ring mold
- Swirl the mold with the help of a cloth to coat the sides as well
- Strain the flan mixture directly into the caramelized mold
- Cover the mold tightly with aluminum foil, folding the edges to secure
- Line the bottom of the pressure cooker with a folded kitchen towel
- Add water for the bain-marie and place the mold inside the pressure cooker
- Close the pressure cooker and cook on low pressure for 10 minutes
- Carefully release the pressure from the cooker after the indicated time
- Check if the flan surface is firm and carefully remove from the cooker
- Remove the aluminum foil and let the dessert cool at room temperature
- Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before unmolding
- Lightly warm the bottom of the mold over the stove to loosen the caramel when unmolding
- Loosen the sides with a knife, cover with a deep plate, and invert in one swift motion
Notes
Cooking 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 let the mixture rest before cooking.
