Instant pot Kabocha flan
Konnichiwa, it's Nami from just one cookbook back with another video for you.
Today, We are making Kabocha Flan or in Japanese, we called it Kabocha pu-rin.
Kabocha is a squash or pumpkin depending on where you live.
since it tastes sweet, we not only use it for savory dishes, but also for dessert.
I previously shared the Kabocha pie recipe,
so don't forget to check it out!
We will be using the Instant Pot to pressure cook both Kabocha and the flan.
Now let's get started!
15 oz (424 g ) Kabocha, remove the seeds with a spoon
cut kabocha into wedges and then 2 inch pieces
in Instant Pot, add 1 cup water
set a steamer basket inside
put the kabocha in a single layer
cook at high pressure for 2 minutes
make sure handle points at "sealing"
in small sauce pan, add 4 Tbsp ( 50 g ) sugar and 1 Tbsp water
cook it over low heat until golden brown
turn off the heat when caramel reaches amber color
add 2 Tbsp hot water ( use a lid to protect yourself from splatter )
pour the caramel into 4 ramekins ( 6 oz )
important: quick release the pressure cooker after 10 minutes
use a knife or spoon to remove the flesh from kabocha
use fine mesh sieve or food processor to puree the kabocha
measure 1/2 cup ( 120 g ) kabocha
in a large bowl, add 3 large eggs
add 3 Tbsp ( 38 g ) sugar
mix well
add 1/2 cup ( 120 ml )
1/2 cup ( 120 ml ) heavy (whipping) cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
mix all together
add kabocha
mix well
set a fine-mesh sieve over a large bowl and pass the custard mixture through the sieve
divide the custard mixture into 4 ramekins
cover each ramekin tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil
add 1 cup water into pressure cooker
place the steam rack inside
put the 4 ramekins on the rack
cook at high pressure for 6 minutes
important: quick release after 10 minutes
check to make sure custard is set
if still liquid, pressure cook again
cool to room temperature and then chill for 2 hours
2 hours later...
run a knife around the ramekins
hold the ramekin and plate together and shake vigorously a few times to invert onto a plate
enjoy!

since you guys are all watching till the end,
here is the Japanese word of the day
Pu-rin, flan or creme caramel in Japan is called Pu-rin
We pronounce as "rin" not ring or lin. It's the Japanese "R" sound between R and L
If you want to say this Pu-rin is delicious, say "Kono purin wa oishi desu."
Have fun using it!
