Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons water¾ cups whole milk
  • ¾ can sweetened condensed milk (10.5 oz)
  • ¾ cup yogurt (make your own! https://youtu.be/sy3c42C08a8)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 ramekins
Instructions
  1. Turn on your stovetop to medium high heat
  2. To a pan, add the sugar and 2 tablespoons water
  3. Heat until caramel turns a deep amber, honey-like color (occasionally swirl your sugar mixture by swirling the pot but DO NOT STIR). This will take about 5-7 minutes
  4. As soon as the sugar turns amber, IMMEDIATELY take it off the heat
  5. Evenly pour the caramel mixture among the 4 ramekins and allow to cool-BE CAREFUL AS IT WILL BE VERY HOT
  6. Set the ramekins aside and allow the caramel to harden on the bottom
  7. In your mixing bowl, whisk together the whole milk, condensed milk, yogurt, vanilla extract and corn starch
  8. Whisk well so that there are no lumps
  9. Evenly pour this custard mix among the 4 ramekins on top of the hardened caramel
  10. Cover each ramekin tightly with foil
  11. Add 1.5 cups of water to the bottom of your InstantPot
  12. Place the metal trivet in the pot
  13. Carefully place each ramekin on top of the trivet-you may have to stagger the ramekins
  14. Place lid on pot and lock
  15. Close vent on lid to prevent steam from escaping
  16. Press MANUAL to set pot to Manual mode
  17. Set to HIGH PRESSURE
  18. Set timer to 10 minutes
  19. After the timer goes off, allow the pressure to naturally release for a minimum of 10 minutes
  20. If the pin has not dropped, you can now manually release the pressure and open the lid
  21. Carefully, using an oven mitt, remove the ramekins from the InstantPot and onto a try
  22. Place the ramekins in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour to set
  23. After 1 hour, remove the ramekins from the refrigerator
  24. Remove the foil from each ramekin
  25. Hold the ramekin in one hand and gently run a butter knife around the inner edges of the ramekin to loosen the custard
  26. To remove, place a serving dish on top of the ramekin and quickly flip the ramekin over (see video)
  27. Serve and enjoy!
