Pumpkin Flan

Pumpkin Flan

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.
