Equipment
- Instant Pot
- 6-cup flan mold or ramekins
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preparing the caramel sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns into a rich amber color. Carefully pour the caramel into your flan mold or ramekins, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently pour the egg mixture into the flan mold or ramekins over the caramel layer.
- Cover the flan mold or ramekins tightly with aluminum foil. This prevents water from seeping in during the cooking process.
- Pour 1 cup of water into the Instant Pot. Place the trivet inside and carefully set the flan mold or ramekins on top.
- Seal the Instant Pot and set it to "High Pressure" for 25 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow a natural release for 10 minutes before carefully releasing any remaining pressure.
- Carefully remove the flan mold or ramekins from the Instant Pot and let them cool to room temperature.
- Refrigerate the flan for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
