Cuban Flan

Method

  1. 01

    Make the caramel

    Put the sugar and water in a metal mold suitable for the pressure cooker or in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, moving carefully, until the sugar melts and turns golden. Pour the caramel into the mold and tilt it to coat the bottom.

  2. 02

    Mix the flan

    Gently beat the eggs. Add the condensed milk, evaporated milk, vanilla, and salt, and mix until combined without making it foamy. Strain the mixture into the caramel-coated mold and cover the mold.

  3. 03

    Cook in the pressure cooker

    Place a rack or trivet in the pressure cooker and add water for the water bath, keeping it below the top of the mold. Set the covered mold inside. Close the cooker and cook for 25 minutes from the time it reaches pressure. Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally for 25 minutes before opening.

    25 min
  4. 04

    Cool and unmold

    Remove the mold from the cooker and let the flan cool completely. Refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. Run a knife around the edge and turn it out onto a serving plate.
