Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup light-brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup cooked pumpkin puree
1 1/2 cups half-and-half or cream
5 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put the granulated sugar in a 9-inch cake pan or pie plate, set on the center rack in the oven, and bake until the sugar is caramel colored, 8 to 12 minutes. Swirl to cover the bottom of the pie plate with the caramel.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in pumpkin puree. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, and vanilla. Thoroughly blend the egg mixture into the pumpkin puree.
  • Set the pie plate in a large roasting pan, and pour the custard over the caramel. Carefully pour enough hot tap water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the pie plate. Bake until the custard is set, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool and chill in the refrigerator. Run a knife around the outside edge of the flan and invert it onto a rimmed plate. Cut into wedges or scoop and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

PUMPKIN FLAN



Pumpkin Flan image

Provided by Ellie Krieger

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.

PUMPKIN FLAN WITH MAPLE CARAMEL



Pumpkin Flan with Maple Caramel image

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     dessert

Time 5h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup pure Grade A maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1/2 cup (4 ounces) Italian mascarpone
4 extra-large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure maple extract, such as Boyajian
2 teaspoons grated orange zest (2 oranges)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Steps:

  • For the caramel, combine the sugar, maple syrup and 1/3 cup water in a small deep heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil, swirling the pan (don?t stir!) to dissolve the sugar. Cook at a low boil without stirring for 5 to 10 minutes, until the mixture turns a golden brown and registers 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Watch it carefully so it doesn?t burn! Off the heat, swirl in the fleur de sel and immediately pour into an 8-by-2-inch round cake pan (not a springform!). Set aside to cool for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, canned pumpkin and mascarpone in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium-low speed until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, maple extract, orange zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gently pour the pumpkin mixture into the pan with the caramel so they don?t combine.
  • Place the pan in a roasting pan large enough to hold the cake pan flat and fill the roasting pan with enough of the hottest tap water to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake in the center of the oven for 70 to 75 minutes, until the custard is just set. It will be firm but still jiggle slightly in the middle; a knife inserted into the center of the flan will come out clean. Remove the flan from the water bath, place on a cooling rack and cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. Don?t tilt the pan or the caramel will run out!
  • Run a small knife around the edge of the flan. Turn a flat serving plate with a slight lip over the cake pan and flip them, turning the flan out onto the plate. The caramel should run out over the flan. Cut into wedges and serve with the caramel spooned over each slice.

PUMPKIN FLAN IN A PASTRY SHELL



Pumpkin Flan in a Pastry Shell image

Part pumpkin pie, part pumpkin flan, this dessert has a traditional pate brisee shell, but updated with caramel.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes eight 4-inch flans

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 3/4 cups sugar
2 1/4 cups milk
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
5 large whole eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pate Brisee for Plum Crumb Pie
1 cup whipped cream, or creme fraiche (optional)

Steps:

  • Have ready eight 4-inch metal pie pans, and prepare an ice-water bath.
  • In a small saucepan, combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water; set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Cover, and bring to boil; cook until condensation washes down sides. Remove cover; boil until syrup turns deep amber in color. Quickly submerge pan in ice-water bath.
  • Working quickly, divide caramel among the pie pans; swirl each to coat bottom. Set aside to cool.
  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Pour milk into a saucepan, and set over high heat. Bring just to a boil; set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine pumpkin puree, remaining 3/4 cup sugar, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, whole eggs, and egg yolks. Mix in vanilla and warm milk; pass through fine sieve, discarding solids. Divide mixture among pie pans, filling two-thirds full. Transfer pie pans to a roasting pan.
  • Loosely drape piece of foil over top of roasting pan, transfer to oven, and add enough boiling water to the roasting pan to come halfway up sides of pie pans (always fill roasting pan with boiling water after transferring to oven, to avoid burning). Bake until centers are nearly set -- a thin-bladed knife inserted into centers should come out clean -- 60 to 65 minutes. Transfer roasting pan to wire rack to cool. Remove flans from water, and dry bottoms of pie pans. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate flans overnight.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Have ready four 5-inch flan rings or fluted tartlet tins; line two baking sheets with parchment. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee to an 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out eight 7-inch circles. Ease a circle into each flan ring, letting excess drape over top. Fit dough into bottom corners of rings, using knuckles to work dough from top down, not from the center out. Using a rolling pin, roll over tops of rings, creating neat tops and removing any excess dough. Prick bottom of each shell several times with a fork. Transfer shells to baking sheets, and chill 30 minutes.
  • Line shells with foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 20 minutes, and remove foil and weights. Bake until shells are golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes more. Transfer baking sheets to a wire rack, and let shells cool, 1 hour. Remove shells from rings.
  • When ready to serve, place shells on 4 dessert plates. Unmold flan by running a knife carefully around edge of pan, and invert it over a shell; caramel sauce will flow, filling shell. Repeat with remaining shells and flan. Top with whipped cream or creme fraiche, if desired.

EASY PUMPKIN FLAN



Easy Pumpkin Flan image

Most flans are so labor intensive, this one is relatively easy. The original recipe I found in an e-book didn't call for the pumpkin and spice, which I added. It said "1 1/2 cans water" and that can mean anything but the cup of pumpkin moistened it up nicely!

Pie Crust

  • For a flaky pie crust, roll out the pastry in one direction, then fold it in half, and roll it out again. Turn the pastry 90 degrees and do this step two more times to create even, thin pastry.
  • Use ice-cold water and butter in your pie crust. This will help prevent the gluten in the pastry from developing too much, resulting in a tough crust.
  • Chill your pie crust before adding the pie plate. This will help it to set and prevent it from cracking or tearing.

Pie Filling

  • When making fruit pie, it's important to use a thickener like cornstarch, tapioca, or gelatin to prevent it from being too runny.
  • To prevent the bottom crust from becoming soggy, sprinkle bread crumbs or tapioca pearls over the bottom of the pie crust before adding the fruit.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. This will prevent the pie from bubbling over and making a mess.

Pie Baking

  • Bake the pie at a high temperature first to set the crust, then reduce the temperature to finish the pie.
  • Use a pie crust and fill the pie with your favorite ingredients.
  • Handle the pie carefully when it comes out of the fridge as it will be very soft and prone to cracking.

Pie Cooling

  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the pie to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the pie with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream. This will help to cut the sweetness of the pie and make it more delicious.

Conclusion

With a little practice, you can make delicious, perfect homemade pie. Baking pie is a great way to use seasonal ingredients and enjoy delicious, classic treats all year round.
