This has been a traditional quick dessert at the Alvaré’s house. It only requires six ingredients and the outcome is a beautiful dessert for a dinner.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of sugar you might need a bit more depending on the pan you will use
- 1 tablespoon of water
- 1 can of sweet condense milk
- 1 can of milk
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- pinch of salt
- Instructions
- Place the sugar and the water in the pan you are going to make the flan in medium heat. Move the pan while the sugar starts to brown. Make sure all the sugar has become caramel at the bottom and try to turn the pan around to provide a layer of caramel to the walls too. Remove the pan from the stove and let it cook while you prepare the rest.
- Blend together the condense milk, the milk, the eggs, vanilla and salt. Pour this over the pan with caramel and cover with the lid.
Using an Instapot pressure cooker on high or a simple pressure cooker, place the flan pan inside with water up to the mid of the flan pan. Cover and cook for 9-10 minutes after the pressure has formed. When finished remove the pressure from the pan and remove the lid. Take out the flan pan and place it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. When you are ready to serve, pull it out of the refrigerator an hour before. After the hour, with thin knife remove the sides and then turn the pan over a serving plate. It should not form small bubbles inside; it should be an even dough. If it forms bubbles means next time use one minute less while cooking
