Where to find ingredients
You can find sweetened condensed milk, sugar, eggs, and milk at any standard local grocery store or supermarket in the baking or dairy aisles.
Preparation method
- Crack the eggs individually into a small bowl and transfer them to a larger mixing bowl.
- Whisk the eggs gently with a wire whisk to combine the yolks and whites.
- Add the condensed milk and incorporate it well into the egg mixture.
- Pour in the milk gradually, stirring gently to avoid creating air bubbles.
- Set the custard mixture 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 cautious of splatters.
- Stir until the caramel becomes smooth and homogeneous.
- Pour the caramel into an 18 cm ring mold, rotating the mold with a cloth to coat the bottom and sides.
- Strain the custard mixture directly into the caramelized mold.
- Cover the mold tightly 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 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 carefully.
- 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 along the edges to loosen the flan, cover with a deep plate, and invert in one quick motion.
Observations
Preparing flan in an electric pressure cooker accelerates the cooking time, allowing the dessert to be ready quickly. The secret to a smooth, bubble-free flan is to mix the ingredients gently without incorporating air and letting the batter rest before cooking.
