LIME FLAN WITH CARAMELIZED PINEAPPLE

• Make flan:
• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 325°F. Place 9-inch-diameter cake pan with 1 1/2-inch-high sides in oven. Bring lime juice to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat; cool.
• Stir sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until deep amber color, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 6 minutes. Pour hot caramel into hot cake pan; using oven mitts, tilt cake pan to coat bottom evenly. Set aside.
• Stir reduced-fat milk and cornstarch in 1-cup glass measuring cup to blend. Combine condensed milk, lime peel and lime juice in large bowl. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean. Stir to blend. Stir in egg substitute, then cornstarch mixture. Pour custard over caramel in pan. Place cake pan in large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to roasting pan to come halfway up sides of cake pan. Cover roasting pan with foil.
• Bake custard until set around edges and center 4 inches still moves when pan is gently shaken, about 50 minutes (do not overbake or custard will curdle). Transfer cake pan to rack and let flan cool. Cover and refrigerate flan overnight.
• Make pineapple:
• Spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Place skillet over high heat. Add 8 pineapple slices to skillet and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drizzle 1 tablespoon lime juice over pineapple. Using spatula, transfer pineapple to plate. Wipe out skillet, then spray with more nonstick spray. Repeat with remaining 8 pineapple slices and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Cut pineapple slices diagonally in half. Sprinkle with chopped mint.

MARIEVILLE'S PINEAPPLE FLAN

Steps:

• For Caramel Sauce, put a cup of sugar in a small saucepan, over low heat. Keep your eye on it. If it burns, you will have to start over. it just needs to melt and be slightly golden that's all. Immediately pour the caramel into a metal pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom and sides. You have to be quick because once it starts to cool down you don't stand a chance. The caramel should have cooled down before you pour the pineapple mixture in it.
• For Pineapple Mixture, bring juice and 1/2 cup sugar to boil in medium saucepan over high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium; simmer until mixture is reduced to 2 cups, stirring occasionally, about 25 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Place egg yolks in large bowl. Whisk in pineapple mixture.
• Carefully pour into caramelized pan and set the mold in pan filled with hot water. Bake in a moderate oven 350* for about 50 minutes or until golden. Test with a knife, it should come out clean. Remove from oven, cool and refrigate at least 3 hours.

PINEAPPLE CHEESECAKE FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Then using a mixer,blend in the eggs, condensed milk, softened cream cheese, pineapple juice, and pinch of salt. Mix well. Set aside.
• Using a 3 qt Corningware casserole(it's what I use, but if you have another mold you can put on both stove top and oven, you can use that too.), put in water and sugar. Heat until sugar is boiling. When it turns golden brown(makes a caramel), and using pot holders, swirl the caramel so that all sides and bottom of mold are completely coated. This prevents the flan from sticking.
• Pour the mixture into the mold. Put the mold onto a pan half-way full of water(Bain Marie) and put in oven for 45- 55 mins. When you insert a knife into the middle of the flan, and the knife comes out dry, the flan is done.
• Again using potholders, place a serving platter over the mold, and quickly turn it over. It can be a little tricky. If the flan sticks, turn it back and carefully run a knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the flan. Then turn the mold upside down again over the platter. Cool and serve.This is NOT a low calorie dessert.

FLAN DE PIñA OR PINEAPPLE FLAN

Steps:

• To make the caramel, bring 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup of water to a boil over medium heat and boil until it gets a deep amber color, about 8-10 minutes.
• Pour the hot caramel into the previously buttered flan molds or ramekins and try to distribute it evenly on the bottom of the molds.
• Combine the pineapple juice with the sugar and tapioca starch in a small saucepan over low heat and bring to a boil, keep an eye on it as it is prone to boil over, let simmer until it begins to thicken, about 5-8 minutes, remove and cool completely.
• Pre-heat oven to 350 F
• Beat the eggs on low speed; slowly mix in the pineapple mixture, the milk, the vanilla, and the rum until well combined
• Strain the flan mixture and pour into the caramel coated molds.
• Place the flan molds in the oven dish with water - the water should cover at least ½ of the height of the ramekins - and bake until the flans solidify, about 45-50 minutes.
• Let the flans cool completely, then refrigerate for a couple of hour.
• To help release the flans place the ramekins in a bowl with warm water before serving to melt the caramel and loosen the flan.
• Serve alone or accompanied by fresh berries or with caramelized pineapple slices
• Pour a spoonful of brown sugar over a pineapple slice and place under the broiler until the sugar begins to bubble and caramelize.
