PRESSURE-COOKER CARAMEL FLAN RECIPE - (4/5)



Pressure-Cooker Caramel Flan Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 7

CUSTARD:
2 cups whole milk
4 whole eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup sugar
CARAMEL:
1 cup sugar

Steps:

  • CUSTARD: Mix the milk and vanilla extract. Using a fork or a whisk, mix 4 whole eggs plus 1 egg yolk with the sugar. Pour the milk and vanilla, milk into the egg mixture. Whisk well, and the mixture will be very watery. Set aside. CARAMEL: In your widest saute pan (I use a saucier pan), add the sugar and turn the flame to high and wait. Do not stir--at most, pick up the pan and swish it around to make sure the sugar is evenly melted in the caramel. As soon as almost all of the sugar has turned to caramel turn off the heat. Carefully pour the caramel into the ring form pan, or into individual ramekins. Fill the caramelized containers, by pouring or using a soup ladle, leaving 1/2-inch space from the top. Cover the forms tightly with aluminum foil. Prepare the pressure cooker by adding one cup of water into the pot. If using a ring mold, cover it with foil and carefully lower it. My trivet has handles, so this makes it much easier. otherwise, make a foil sling. Place the pressure-cooker lid on and lock it in place. Set the pressure to high and for 10 minutes. If using ramekins, cover each one with foil and place on a trivet. Carefully lower into the pressure cooker. Lock the lid on, and set for 6 minutes on high. Once the pressure cooker beeps, allow a natural pressure release of 10 minutes. If you need to cook a second batch of ramekins, be sure to add more water. Allow the flan/creme caramel to cool for one hour. I cover them with plastic, place them on a small baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. SERVE: Place each ramekin or the ring mold in a baking dish of very warm water. Allow to sit for 30 to 60 seconds. Use a paring knife to around the rim of each dish. Place a dish on top, and flip over. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ingredients: Use high-quality, fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Make sure to use full-fat ingredients for a richer, more decadent flan.
  • Prepare Your Jars: Before filling them with the flan mixture, make sure to sterilize your jars and lids to prevent contamination. You can do this by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.
  • Don't Overfill the Jars: Leave at least 1 inch of headspace at the top of each jar to allow for expansion during cooking. This will prevent the jars from overflowing and making a mess in your pressure cooker.
  • Cook the Flan Under Pressure: Cooking the flan in a pressure cooker will save you time and energy, and it will also result in a more evenly cooked flan. Cook the flan for the recommended amount of time, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Chill the Flan Before Serving: After cooking, let the flan cool completely before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flan to set and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Pressure cooker flan in a jar is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy texture, rich flavor, and beautiful presentation, this flan is sure to impress your friends and family.
