I make this fun pumpkin dessert every year for Halloween in my pumpkin-shaped baking dish. You can, of course, make it in regular ramekins for a non-seasonal dessert.
Ingredients
Ganache
- ¼ cup 70% to 80% dark chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 (8 ounce) container silken tofu
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ¼ cup applesauce
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 drop orange food coloring (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a tart pan on a baking sheet.
Step 2
Combine silken tofu, pumpkin puree, applesauce, cornstarch, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and food coloring in a bowl. Puree using a stick blender until smooth. Pour batter into the tart pan, filling only halfway.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until flan has set, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before inverting onto a serving plate.
Step 4
Place chocolate in a metal bowl. Heat cream, honey, and butter in a small saucepan until almost boiling and pour over chocolate. Leave for 1 minute, then stir well until chocolate has melted. Transfer chocolate ganache to a piping bag fitted with a small tip and decorate pumpkin flan. Refrigerate until serving.
Cook’s Notes:
If you used small ramekins instead of a tart pan, invert onto a serving platter after a few minutes.
