Delicious Instant Pot Flan ### Ingredients

1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
6 large eggs
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Start by preparing the caramel. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar melts and turns a golden brown color. Be careful not to burn it!
Once the caramel is ready, quickly pour it into a round baking dish or flan mold, swirling to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the hardened caramel in the baking dish.
Place a trivet in the bottom of the Instant Pot and add 1 cup of water. Carefully lower the filled baking dish onto the trivet.
Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes.
When the cooking time is up, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally for 10-15 minutes, then switch the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the Instant Pot and let it cool at room temperature for about 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it, then invert it onto a serving plate. The caramel sauce will flow over the flan, creating a beautiful presentation.

Enjoy your homemade Instant Pot Flan! It’s a delightful way to end any meal and will surely become a favorite in your dessert rotation.
