CINNAMON-SPICED PUMPKIN FLAN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°. In a small heavy saucepan, spread sugar; cook, without stirring, over medium-low heat until it begins to melt. Gently drag melted sugar to center of pan so sugar melts evenly. Cook, without stirring, until melted sugar turns a medium amber color, about 8 minutes. Quickly pour into an ungreased 9-in. deep-dish pie plate, tilting to coat bottom of plate., In a large saucepan, heat cream until bubbles form around side of pan; remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolks, egg, sugar, pumpkin, cinnamon and vanilla until blended. Slowly stir in hot cream. Pour into pie plate., Place pie plate in a larger baking pan. Place pan on oven rack; add very hot water to pan to within 1/2 in. of top of pie plate. Bake 50-60 minutes or until center is just set (mixture will jiggle). Immediately remove flan from water bath to a wire rack; cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until cold, about 5 hours or overnight., Run a knife around edge and invert onto a rimmed serving platter. Refrigerate leftovers.

PUMPKIN FLAN WITH CARAMEL AND CINNAMON WHIPPED CREAM

Steps:

• In a small skillet combine 2/3 cup of the sugar with 1/4 cup water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring and washing down any sugar crystals clinging to the sides with a brush dipped in cold water until the sugar is dissolved. Cook the syrup, swirling the skillet, until it is a deep caramel, pour it into a warm 2-quart glass loaf pan, tilting the pan to coat the bottom evenly, and let the caramel harden.
• In a bowl beat the eggs with the remaining 2/3 cup sugar, beat in the pumpkin puree, salt, ginger, cinnamon, allspice, and cream, and pour the custard into the loaf pan. Set the loaf pan in a deep baking pan, add enough hot water to the baking pan to reach halfway up the sides of the loaf pan, and bake the flan in the middle of a preheated moderate oven (350 degrees) for 1 hour and forty five minutes to 2 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the flan cool and chill it, covered overnight. Run a thin knife around the edge of the loaf pan, invert a platter over the pan, and invert the flan onto the platter. Serve the flan, cut into slices, with the cinnamon whipped cream.

PUMPKIN FLAN WITH CINNAMON PUMPKINSEEDS

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup water. Simmer over medium-high heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Partly cover pan and continue cooking until sugar turns medium amber, about 6 minutes. Immediately pour caramel into a 2 1/2-quart soufflé dish and quickly turn to coat bottom and sides.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, cook pumpkin over medium-high heat, stirring often, until dryish. In a large saucepan, heat milk with remaining 1 cup sugar until barely simmering. Gradually stir in semolina and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in pumpkin. Remove pan from heat and let cool slightly. Beat in eggs, vanilla and salt, then pour into soufflé dish.
• Set soufflé dish in a roasting pan. Pour hot water into pan to reach halfway up side of dish. Bake until a knife inserted in flan comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours. Transfer dish to a rack and let cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Lightly brush a medium skillet with oil. Add pumpkinseeds and toast over medium heat until they begin to pop and brown slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in kosher salt and cinnamon.
• Run a knife around flan. Invert a round platter over dish. Holding dish and platter securely together, quickly invert flan onto platter; caramel sauce will spill out. Sprinkle flan with some cinnamon pumpkinseeds just before serving.
