PUMPKIN FLAN
Nothing signals the holiday season more than pumpkin and this flan allows you to showcase it in a new, delicious way. Recipe for Pumpkin Flan from our Dessert recipe section.

Ingredients

canola oil cooking spray
3 eggs, omega-3-enriched if available
1-1/4 cup pumpkin puree (300 mL)
1/2 cup maple syrup (125 mL)
2 Tbsp canola oil (30 mL)
1-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (7 mL)
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon (4 mL)
1/4 tsp ground ginger (1 mL)
1/4 tsp ground cloves (1 mL)
1/4 tsp salt (1 mL)
1-1/2 cups low-fat milk, heated until very hot (375 mL)
Boiling water, about 1 quart (1.13 L)
ground nutmeg (garnish)

Directions

1 – Preheat oven to 350F. 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 (33 x 22 cm) baking pan.
2 – In large bowl, beat eggs slightly; add pumpkin puree, 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 (125 mL) 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 to 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.
