Tantalizing Tuesday - Pumpkin Flan

Pumpkin Flan


A delicious Thanksgiving dessert for your family that comes from the Biggest Loser newsletter.
• Canola oil cooking spray

• 3 eggs, omega-3-enriched if available

• 1 1/4 cup pumpkin purée

• 7 tablespoons (1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons) maple syrup

• 5 1/2 teaspoons canola oil

• 1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 3/8 teaspoon ground ginger

• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1 1/2 cups low-fat milk, heated until very hot

• Boiling water, about 1 quart

• Ground nutmeg (garnish)

1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Adjust oven rack to center position. Coat eight 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins with canola oil cooking spray and set them in 13 X 9-inch baking pan.

2. In large bowl, beat eggs slightly; add pumpkin purée, maple syrup, canola oil, vanilla, spices and salt. Beat with mixer until blended thoroughly. Mix in hot milk until blended. There will be about 4 cups of liquid. Pour 1/2 cup flan mixture into each prepared ramekin.

3. Carefully pour boiling water into baking pan around ramekins. Water should come up to level of custard inside ramekins.

4. Bake 40-45 minutes or until set around the edges but still a little loose in center. When center of flan is just set, it will jiggle a little when shaken. Remove from oven and immediately remove ramekins from water bath; cool on wire rack until room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

5. Serve cold and garnish with ground nutmeg. This dessert can be made up to 3 days in advance. Keep refrigerated until serving.



Yield: 8 servings. Serving size: 1 flan.
