Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) container silken tofu
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
2 eggs
3 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a tart pan on a baking sheet.

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.
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.

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.
