Any tips from this recipe?
On the stovetop: cook the covered mould in a wide pan of simmering water for about 50 minutes. In a pressure cooker, with water halfway up the mould, allow roughly 20 to 40 minutes at pressure depending on the cooker, and let the pressure drop on its own before opening. Caramel stuck in the mould dissolves with a splash of hot water. Pour it over the slices.
Can I prepare this ahead?
Lift the mould out of the water and cool to room temperature, then chill it for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
Can I use an air fryer?
This method is not written for an air fryer. The core technique on the page still applies.
