SAMPLE RECIPE Flan de Calabaza (Pumpkin Flan)
1 cup SUGAR 4 EGGS 3 Tbsp. BROWN SUGAR 1 cup canned PUMPKIN 1 can (14-oz.) SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK 1 can (12-oz.) EVAPORATED MILK 1 tsp. CINNAMON 1/2 tsp. GINGER 1/4 tsp. NUTMEG Preheat oven to 350 F. Over medium-high heat, cook sugar in a small skillet, stirring occasionally until melted and golden in color. Pour into two-quart baking dish, tilting to coat bottom and sides completely. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth using an electric mixer or blender. Pour mixture into caramelized dish. Place flan inside a larger baking pan and fill with hot water halfway up the dish. Bake for one hour at 350 F. or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove from hot water and place on a rack to cool. Chill thoroughly. Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Loosen outer edges of flan with a thin knife before unmolding. Place a serving plate with rim over flan and invert. Scrape additional sauce from dish and spoon over flan. Garnish with whipped cream and toasted slivered almonds. (8 to 10 servings) Use a long wooden-spoon or chopstick for stirring when caramelizing sugar.
