- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (163°C).
- Prepare Caramel:
- In a small saucepan, melt the granulated sugar over medium heat until it turns into a golden-brown caramel. Pour the caramel into the bottom of the flan mold or individual ramekins, ensuring it covers the base evenly.
- Prepare Custard Base:
- In a blender, combine the eggs, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Blend until well combined and smooth.
- Divide and Flavor:
- Divide the custard mixture into two portions. Leave one portion as is for the vanilla layer. Add cocoa powder to the other portion and blend again to create the chocolate layer.
- Layer the Custard:
- Pour the vanilla custard mixture over the caramel layer in the mold or ramekins. Carefully pour the chocolate custard mixture on top.
- Cover and Seal:
- Cover the flan mold or ramekins with aluminum foil. If using a flan mold with a lid, secure the lid to seal.
- Place in Air Fryer:
- Place the covered flan mold or ramekins in the preheated air fryer basket.
- Air Fry:
- Cook the Neapolitan flan in the air fryer for approximately 30-35 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick or knife into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Refrigerate:
- Allow the flan to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Unmold and Serve:
- Once fully chilled, run a knife around the edges of the mold or ramekins and invert the flan onto a serving plate. The caramel will create a delicious sauce.
- Slice and Enjoy:
- Slice the Neapolitan flan into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy the layers of vanilla and chocolate goodness!
This Neapolitan flan is a delightful twist on the classic dessert, and the air fryer provides a convenient way to achieve a silky texture. Enjoy!
