IP Caramel Custard


All You Need:

  Custard
  •   2 cups whole milk
  •    Cardamom powder
  •    4 eggs
  •    2/3 cups sugar
      Caramel
  •    1/2 cup sugar
  •    1or2Tbsp water
 
The Recipe:  
  •  First simmer the milk with the Cardamom powder and 2/3 cup Sugar. Keep aside to cool.
  •  In a separate pot heat 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tbsp water and heat until the sugar melts and turns golden or deep amber color. Occasionally give it a swirl. This will take around 5-7 mins. Please watch and make sure you take it off the heat when it’s done, otherwise it will burn.
  •  Then pour the caramel into a container that will go in your IP. I used one of my regular cooker stackable bowl.
  • Coat the base & sides of the container with caramel and let it cool. It will set in around 5 minutes
  • Start making the custard. In a bowl, beat eggs. Pour sweetened milk to the eggs. Please let the milk cool down so that it doesn't scramble the eggs!!!Pour milk slowly and keep beating the mixture.
  • Check if the caramel has hardened and then pour the custard over the caramel. Cover the container tightly with aluminum foil
  • Add 2 cups of water in the Instant Pot. Place the bowl (covered with foil) on a trivet and put in the pot.
  • Press Manual and reduce time to 5 minutes with the vent on Sealing. Natural release for 10 minutes, release the rest of the pressure.
  • Take out the pot and check if the custard is set. Stick a toothpick in the centre and it should come out clean.
  •  Remove the bowl from the Instant Pot and let cool for 1 hour at room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours so that you get those perfect slices!!
  • To unmold, run a knife around rim of bowl and invert onto dessert plate. The liquid will fall in the plate initially and then the custard flops down.
