Need Help from all you Pampered Chef cooks! Looking for a recipe..

[LJC1861]

Hi Everybody,

Several years ago Pampered chef introduced their "flan pans", a flat torte like cake pan that you could fill the center will all sorts of good things. One of the recipes in the booklet was for "pumpkin flan" which used a gingerbread cake for the base, pumpkin, spices and cool whip for the topping. I am dying to find the recipe and have exhausted all searches. My sis in law who had it can't find it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,

Linda---who is hosting T-giving dinner for the first time and would love this recipe.

In a separate bowl, whisk pudding mix into milk using a whisk; mix well. Whisk in pumpkin; mix until smooth. Using a scraper, fold in 3 cups of the whipped topping.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until done. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Loosen cake from edge of pan and turn out onto serving plate. Allow to cool completely before removing parchment paper.

To make filling, place marshmallows with milk in a 2 qt. saucepan. Melt marshmallows over low heat, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add pumpkin, spices and salt and stir to combine. Allow mixture to cool completely. Fold in whipped topping. Fill each flan cake center with pumpkin mixture. Chill before serving. Garnish with additional whipped topping.

I liked this recipe because it didn't use pudding in the center. Pudding sometimes makes the cake soggy....
