Pumpkin Gorgonzola Flans Recipes

PUMPKIN GORGONZOLA FLANS

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350°.
• Butter six custard cups (Pyrex cups with a 6 oz capacity, or ramekins; choose a roasting pan that is large enough to hold the cups comfortably).
• Line the bottom of the roasting pan with a double layer of paper towels and put the custard cups in the pan.
• Put a kettle of water on to boil.
• Put the pumpkin, eggs, yolks, and cream in a food processor (or a blender) and whir until well blended.
• Season with salt and pepper, and pour the custard into the cups.
• Divide the gorgonzola among the flans and poke the cheese into the custard a little bit, just to distribute it.
• Sprinkle the tops of the flans with the walnuts.
• Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the cups.
• Bake the flans for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into one comes out almost clean (depending of the size and height of your cups, you may need more or less time, so start checking at 25 minutes).
• Because you're going to let the flans sit in the water bath, they'll continue to cook, so it's better to err on the side of underbaked.
• Transfer the roasting pan to a rack and let the flans cool in their water bath to just-warm or room temperature.
• Top with creme fraiche or sour cream,.

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,.
