Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings (1 serving equals 1 flan)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
2/3 cup sugar, divided
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup evaporated milk
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup solid-pack pumpkin

Steps:

  • Arrange 8 (4-ounce) ramekins inside a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Spray ramekins lightly with cooking spray.
  • In a small saucepan, heat 1/3 cup sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and forms a medium-brown caramel, about 7 minutes. Working quickly, transfer 2 teaspoons of the caramel to each of the ramekins, swirling as soon as you spoon in the caramel (it will harden quickly). Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine milk and evaporated milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Reduce heat to a low simmer and keep milk warm. Meanwhile, bring about 4 cups water to a boil and keep hot. Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, remaining 1/3 cup of sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Fold pumpkin into egg mixture. Then fold into evaporated milk. Divide filling among ramekins, then place baking sheet in oven. Pour hot water into baking pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until flan is just set. Let cool. Place a dessert plate on top of each ramekin and invert; flan should slide out, and syrup should flow onto sides of the dish.

1 cup white sugar
1 (14 ounce) can pumpkin pie filling
1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1 cup sugar in a pan over medium heat. Stir until it caramelizes, being careful not to burn the sugar. After caramelizing the sugar, quickly throw it in the mold you are using for the flan, and move the mold around so the bottom of the mold will be covered with the caramelized sugar and set aside. It will become hardened.
  • Combine the pumpkin pie filling, evaporated milk, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, and allspice in a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into the caramelized pan.
  • Place the pan with the caramelized flan into a bigger mold filled with about 1 " of hot water.

  • Bake in preheated oven for about 50 min or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. I usually leave it in the same pan if its just for our family and then serve as needed,.

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
3 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of ground allspice
1 cup low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Stir 2/3 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Boil until mixture turns amber-colored, brushing any crystals that form on sides of pan with wet brush and swirling pan occasionally, about 7 minutes. Immediately divide caramel among six 1/2-cup soufflè dishes to cover bottoms and sides with caramel. Cool.
  • Whisk pumpkin, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and allspice in large bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in milk. Divide mixture among soufflè dishes. Place dishes in large baking pan. Add enough water to baking pan to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake until flan is set, about 55 minutes. Cool. Refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 2 days. Run small sharp knife around edges of dishes to loosen. Turn flans out onto plates and serve.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade pumpkin puree instead of canned.
  • Be sure to drain the pumpkin puree well before using, to avoid a watery flan.
  • To prevent the flan from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in the hot milk mixture.
  • Bake the flan in a water bath to prevent it from cracking.
  • Chill the flan for at least 4 hours before serving, to allow it to set properly.

Conclusion:

This low-fat pumpkin flan is a delicious and healthy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with simple ingredients and is easy to make. Whether you are a fan of pumpkin or not, you are sure to enjoy this delicious flan.
