Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Neapolitan Flan in an Air Fryer

Step 1: Prepare the Caramel Sauce (optional)

Start by preparing the caramel sauce, which will coat the bottom of your flan dish.

  1. Melt the sugar: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add 1/2 cup of sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir occasionally until the sugar begins to melt and turns into a golden-brown caramel.
  2. Add the butter: Once the sugar has melted and reached the caramel stage, add 1 tablespoon of butter and stir until fully incorporated.
  3. Pour the caramel: Carefully pour the caramel sauce into the bottom of your flan dish. Set it aside to cool while you prepare the flan mixture.

Step 2: Make the Vanilla Custard

  1. Whisk the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well blended.
  2. Strain the mixture: To ensure a smooth and creamy texture, strain the custard mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a separate bowl. This removes any lumps or egg bits that may have formed during whisking.

Step 3: Make the Chocolate Custard

  1. Combine the ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.
  2. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir until smooth and add this to the cocoa mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Strain the mixture: As with the vanilla custard, strain this chocolate custard through a fine mesh sieve to ensure a smooth consistency.
