PUMPKIN FLAN WITH MAPLE CARAMEL

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.

FLAN WITH CARAMELO



Flan with Caramelo image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (12-ounce) cans evaporated milk
1 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup white shredded Colombian cheese, queso blanco
7 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cinnamon stick
Whipped cream as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • Mix all custard ingredients in a blender until smooth. Mix sugar and water in pan until dissolved. Add cinnamon stick and cook over medium heat until light caramel color, about 10 minutes. Pour about 4 tablespoons of syrup into an 8 by 8-inch pan to coat the bottom evenly. Cool for a few minutes or until hardened. Reserve the remaining caramel. Pour custard mixture from blender over the caramel. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put the custard pan into a larger pan and pour water halfway up the side of the smaller pan creating a bain marie. Bake until the middle of the oven until the custard moves slightly when jiggled, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes, or refrigerate, if desired. When ready to serve, loosen the sides with a knife and invert pan onto platter. Slice and serve with reserved, re-warmed syrup and whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your flan.
  • Don't overcook the flan. It should be cooked until it is just set, but not firm. Otherwise, it will be tough and rubbery.
  • Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor.
  • Serve the flan with your favorite topping. Some popular options include caramel sauce, whipped cream, or fruit.
  • Flan can be made ahead of time. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Flan is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for special occasions or everyday enjoyment. With a little practice, you can easily make flan at home. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give flan a try!
