Scale
Ingredients
Caramel:
- 1 cup sugar
Pumpkin Mixture:
- ½ cup of evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk,
- 1 package (8 ounces) soft cream cheese
- 5 whole eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- a pinch lite salt
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup pureed pumpkin
Instructions
- In a saucepan, caramelize 1 cup of sugar.
- While still hot, pour the caramel into baking pan and swirl the caramel to coat the bottom and sides of baking pan.
- Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a blender, add all the ingredients for the pumpkin mixture. Beat at high speed until a smooth and creamy texture is formed.
- Pour pumpkin mixture into caramelized pan. Cover with aluminum foil to avoid any moisture or water from entering into pan. Place baking pan on top of reversible rack and the lift handles.
- Ninja Pressure Cooker – Pour 3 cups of water into cooking pot and insert reversible rack with flan into pot.
- Place Pressure lid into lock position and turn Pressure Release Valve to Seal position.
- Cook at High Pressure for 30 minutes.
- When the flan is finished cooking under pressure, the unit will automatically switch to the Keep Warm mode, counting up. Count up to 10 minutes to obtain the 10-minute natural release process.
- Turn power off after 10 minutes of naturally releasing the pressure.
- Release the remaining pressure by turning the Pressure Release Valve to the vent position for a Quick Release.
- When the pressure is completely released from the unit, the float valve drops down. We can now remove the lid from the pressure cooker.
- Remove reversible rack from inner pot and place on a baking rack. Remove aluminum foil.
- Check for doneness by inserting toothpick or food tester in the center of flan. If it comes out clean, then the flan is ready.
- After flan has slightly cooled, cover with aluminum foil and place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Remove from refrigerator and place on baking rack uncovered. Let stand at room temperature for a few minutes.
- Carefully run a knife around the inside edge of pan to loosen the flan.
- Place a large plate over flan and invert the flan. Lift the baking pan carefully to release the flan.
- Serve with a cup of Puerto Rican coffee.
