SAMPLE RECIPE Flan de Calabaza (Pumpkin Flan) | 1 cup SUGAR
4 EGGS
3 Tbsp. BROWN SUGAR
1 cup canned PUMPKIN
1 can (14-oz.) SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK
1 can (12-oz.) EVAPORATED MILK
1 tsp. CINNAMON
1/2 tsp. GINGER
1/4 tsp. NUTMEG
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Over medium-high heat, cook sugar in a small skillet, stirring occasionally until melted and golden in color. Pour into two-quart baking dish, tilting to coat bottom and sides completely. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth using an electric mixer or blender. Pour mixture into caramelized dish.
Place flan inside a larger baking pan and fill with hot water halfway up the dish. Bake for one hour at 350 F. or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from hot water and place on a rack to cool. Chill thoroughly. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Loosen outer edges of flan with a thin knife before unmolding. Place a serving plate with rim over flan and invert. Scrape additional sauce from dish and spoon over flan. Garnish with whipped cream and toasted slivered almonds. (8 to 10 servings)
Use a long wooden-spoon or chopstick for stirring when caramelizing sugar. |
