PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE FLAN RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium pan, over medium heat, add one cup of sugar and water.
• Stir to dissolve sugar. Cook sugar mixture, swirling pot occasionally, until the caramel turns an amber color.
• Quickly, pour caramel into round 9-inch pan, being sure to swirl around to coat bottom and bottom sides completely. Allow to cool for ten minutes before adding in flan custard.
• In a blender, add in remaining ingredients. Blend well together.
• Gently add custard to caramel pan. Place pan in a larger pan for a water bath. Add water to the larger pan until the water reaches half of the level of the flan pan. Gently place in oven.
• Cook for 50-60 minutes, or until fork comes out clean. Remove pan from water bath, and allow to cool before refrigerating for 3-4 hours.

PUMPKIN FLAN WITH MAPLE CARAMEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 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

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.
• Being very careful not to spill the water, and get burned or have the water get into the flan,.
• 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,.

GRAND FLANERO'S PUMPKIN FLAN

Steps:

• Cut pumpkin or squash into 1-inch chunks and place in a pan. Cover with water and heat to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Remove to a food processor, reserving the cooking liquid. Purée, adding enough (about 1/2 cup) cooking liquid to make a smooth but not watery mixture. Pour 2 cups of the purée (or canned pumpkin purée) into a large bowl. Set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat 3/4 cup sugar in a shallow saucepan over medium heat until melted and amber colored, swirling the pan rather than stirring. When the syrup is bubbly and perfectly clear, pour it into a 6-cup metal loaf pan (the narrower the better) or terrine. Using a potholder, quickly tilt the pan so the syrup evenly covers the bottom. Place on a wire rack to harden.
• Combine remaining sugar, eggs and yolks and whisk until blended. Heat milk until bubbles form around the edges, and whisk into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture through a sieve into the pumpkin purée. Whisk and pour over the caramel in the prepared loaf pan. Cover with aluminum foil.
• Place the loaf pan in a high-sided roasting pan just large enough to hold it. Add enough hot water to come up to the sides of the flan. Bake until the sides are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. (Do not overbake.)
• Remove some water from the roasting pan with a ladle, and then remove the pan from the oven. Place the loaf pan on a wire rack and let cool. Place the flan in a refrigerator until thoroughly chilled, at least 4 hours.
• To serve: run a thin-bladed knife around the flan and invert onto a rimmed serving dish and slice.
