Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 9h10m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

24 gingersnap cookies
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Kosher salt
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup lightly-packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 large eggs, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Loosely roll a large piece of foil (about 20 inches long) into a 1-inch cylinder. Form a ring with the foil measuring about 7 inches in diameter. Fill a 6- to 7-quart slow cooker with 1/2 inch of water and place the foil ring in the bottom.
  • For the crust:
  • Add the gingersnaps to a food processor and process until crumbs form. Add 1/4 cup of the melted butter and a pinch of salt and pulse to combine. You want the mixture to look like wet sand. Brush an 8-inch springform pan with the remaining melted butter. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
  • For the filling:
  • Wipe out the food processor, add the cream cheese and brown sugar and pulse until smooth. Scrape down the sides, add the pumpkin puree, sour cream, vanilla extract and pumpkin pie spice and pulse until thoroughly combined. Add the eggs, pulsing until smooth and uniform. Pour into the crust.
  • Gently place the cheesecake on the foil ring in the slow cooker. Place a few layers of paper towels under the lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours. Allow the cake to cool in the slow cooker, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the cheesecake, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled, at least 3 hours and up to 3 days. Before serving, run a small knife around the edge of the cheesecake and remove the outer ring.

Categories     Food Processor     Dairy     Vegetable     Dessert     Bake     Pumpkin     Spring

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Flan
8 ounces calabaza or pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1 can (14 1/2 ounces) condensed milk
1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
8 eggs
3 tablespoons sugar
Caramel
1 cup sugar
Crust
1 pound gingersnap cookies
1/2 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • To prepare the flan, bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the calabaza and cook until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain the calabaza and let cool. Transfer to a food processor, add the condensed and evaporated milk, eggs, and the 3 tablespoons of sugar and purée until smooth. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • To make the caramel, place the cup of sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until the sugar is a light amber color, about 20 minutes. Pour the caramel into a 9 by 4-inch loaf pan or into 6 individual 8-ounce ramekins or molds. Pour the reserved flan mixture on top of the caramel and place in a water bath. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F, and bake until set (a knife inserted will come out clean), about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
  • To prepare the crust, place the cookies and butter in a food processor and process until well blended. Pack the crust mixture on top of the cooled flan, and transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
  • To serve, run a knife around the inside edges of the loaf pan or molds and invert onto a serving platter or individual plates.

PUMPKIN FLAN WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST



Pumpkin Flan With Gingersnap Crust image

I adjusted this recipe (found in the Chicago Tribune). The original recipe called for cooking a small pumpkin. Unfortunately, I had to subsitute a plain graham cracker crust (with gingersnap spices added) when I made it because I couldn't find any gingersnaps at the store. This could easily be made without a crust too. Everyone enjoyed this and said that it wasn't overly sweet. I'm posting it for future use.

Time 1h55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

cooking spray
2 ½ cups gingersnap cookie crumbs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
⅔ cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 whole eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine gingersnap crumbs and melted butter in a small bowl until well incorporated. Press evenly and firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crust is browned and slightly firm, 6 to 8 minutes; crust will further set and harden as it cools, so do not overcook. Remove from oven and let cool completely; leave oven on.
  • Meanwhile, combine pumpkin, flour, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice in a medium-sized bowl until well combined.
  • Beat cream cheese, white sugar, and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add eggs 1 at a time, combining thoroughly after each addition.
  • Measure 1 cup of cream cheese mixture and add to pumpkin mixture, hand stirring until well combined. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
  • Drop rounded tablespoons of pumpkin mixture randomly over the entire surface of the cream cheese layer. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to carefully swirl the 2 batters together into a marbled effect.
  • Bake in the hot oven until center is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out fairly clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely at room temperature until thoroughly set, about 1 hour.
  • Cut into 24 bars. Refrigerate any leftover bars.

PUMPKIN-CHEESECAKE PIE WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST



Pumpkin-Cheesecake Pie with Gingersnap Crust image

Spicy gingersnaps stand in for the more traditional graham crackers in the crust of this Pumpkin-Cheesecake Pie, and make an excellent foil for the rich pumpkin-cream cheese filling. A border of meringue piped into leaves and bruleed with a kitchen torch takes the pie to the next level.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 6h30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 ounces gingersnaps (about 23), broken into small pieces
3 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 large whole egg, plus 1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
3/4 cup sugar
3 large egg whites, room temperature

Steps:

  • Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pulse gingersnaps and sugar in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add butter and pulse to combine. Press mixture evenly into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake crust until golden in spots, about 15 minutes. With the bottom of a measuring cup, gently flatten bottom and sides of crust. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
  • Filling: Pulse cream cheese in food processor until smooth. Add sugar and pumpkin and process until smooth, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Add egg and yolk, flour, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves; process until incorporated.
  • Pour filling into cooled shell and bake until custard is just set, about 33 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, then refrigerate until cold and firm, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
  • Meringue: Combine sugar and egg whites in a heatproof mixing bowl. Set bowl over (not in) a pan of simmering water, whisking until sugar dissolves and whites are warm. Remove from heat. Beat on high speed until thick, glossy stiff peaks form, about 6 minutes.
  • Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large leaf tip (such as Ateco #115). Pipe leaves around border of chilled pie, releasing pressure to create tips. Holding a small kitchen torch at a 90-degree angle, 3 inches from surface of meringue, move flame back and forth over meringue until it starts to brown. (Or broil 6 to 8 inches from heat source, about 1 minute.) Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin purée. This will give your flan a richer, more flavorful taste. You can make your own purée by roasting a pumpkin and then blending the flesh until smooth.
  • Don't overcook the flan. The center of the flan should still be slightly jiggly when you remove it from the oven. If you overcook it, the flan will be dry and rubbery.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the flan with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include whipped cream, caramel sauce, and fruit.
  • Gingersnap crust is a great way to add a little extra flavor and texture to your flan. If you don't have gingersnaps on hand, you can use graham crackers or another type of cookie.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin flan is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed all year round. With its creamy texture, rich pumpkin flavor, and crispy gingersnap crust, this flan is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to serve, give pumpkin flan a try. You won't be disappointed!
