Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Caramel
1️⃣ In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar with water, stirring until it turns into a golden caramel.
2️⃣ Quickly pour the caramel into a round metal or silicone mold that fits in your air fryer basket.
3️⃣ Swirl the mold to coat the bottom evenly. Let it cool and harden.
2. Blend the Flan Mixture
1️⃣ In a blender, combine sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla, and cream cheese (if using).
2️⃣ Blend until smooth and well mixed.
3. Assemble and Cook
1️⃣ Pour the flan mixture over the cooled caramel in the mold.
2️⃣ Cover the mold with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
3️⃣ Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for 3 minutes.
4️⃣ Place the flan mold inside the air fryer basket.
5️⃣ Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until the flan is set but slightly jiggly in the center.
✅ Tip: Insert a knife or toothpick—it should come out clean when the flan is done.
4. Chill and Serve
1️⃣ Let the flan cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
2️⃣ Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
3️⃣ To serve, run a knife around the edges and flip onto a plate to reveal the beautiful caramel top.
