Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Orange Flan
A bright, citrusy twist on flan: this air fryer orange flan is made with fresh orange juice for a light, refreshing custard under a caramel top. It's naturally lower in sugar if you use a sweetener, and refreshingly different.
The air fryer sets it gently in minutes. Chill, flip, and enjoy a sunny, creamy dessert that's a little lighter than the classic.

How long does orange flan take in the air fryer?
About 13 minutes at 300°F, until just set, then chill before unmolding.
