Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsweetened pumpkin puree
- 1 can (12 oz) Fat-free evaporated milk
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg whites
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (such as Splenda or Stevia)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
- 3 cups Boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the granulated sugar until it turns into a golden caramel. Carefully pour the caramel into the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish or six individual ramekins, tilting to evenly coat the base. Set this aside to cool and harden.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, egg whites, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the pumpkin mixture over the hardened caramel in the prepared baking dish or divide evenly among the ramekins.
Place the baking dish or ramekins in a large, deep roasting pan. Carefully pour the boiling water into the pan, around the baking dish or ramekins, until the water reaches halfway up the sides to create a water bath.
Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the baking dish or ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it. Invert the baking dish or ramekins onto serving plates, allowing the caramel to drizzle over the flan.
Enjoy your delicious and guilt-free Weight Watchers Pumpkin Flan!
