AIR FRYER FLAN

Prepare the caramel by placing the sugar in a saucepan and melting it over low heat, stirring constantly.

Carefully add half a cup of water to the melted caramel, adding it gradually to avoid splattering, and stir until the caramel redissolves in the water.

Let the syrup simmer for 3 to 5 minutes so it thickens slightly, then pour it into an 18 cm diameter flan mold.

In a blender, combine the four eggs, one can of sweetened condensed milk, one and a half cans of milk (using the condensed milk can as the measure), and one cup of powdered milk.

Blend all the batter ingredients in the blender until a smooth mixture is achieved.

Pour the flan batter into the mold that has already been caramelized.

Cover the flan mold tightly with aluminum foil and place it in the air fryer basket.

Set the air fryer to 320°F (160ºC) and bake the flan for approximately 40 minutes.

Remove the mold from the air fryer and allow the flan to cool completely before attempting to unmold it, to prevent it from breaking.

Carefully run a thin knife around the edges of the mold. If the bottom is stuck, briefly heating the base of the mold directly over a low stove flame may help release the caramel.

Invert the flan onto a plate, ensuring it unmolds cleanly and beautifully, and refrigerate for a minimum of four hours before serving for best results.
