Pastel Imposible - Pumpkin Brownie and Cheese Flan

Here is a great dessert recipe for you to try.

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Grease a bundt pan with cooking spray

Caramel

• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 1/4 cup of water

Heat the sugar and water mixture in a small frying pan or a sauce pan without disturbing until the sugar begins to brown.  When it begins to brown, shake the pan around just a little to ensure that the browning is even.  When the mixture becomes golden, pour it into the bundt pan and set it aside.

Flan

• 1 12 oz can of evaporated milk
• 1 can of condensed milk
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 8 oz package of cream cheese

Blend all of the ingredients in a blender and pour into the bundt pan.  

Brownie (Brownie recipe came from cooks.com)

• 1 15 oz can of pure pumpkin
• 1 cup of brown sugar
• 1 cup of white sugar
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups of flour
• 1 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Mix all of the brownie ingredients well and pour halfway into the bundt pan.  You can reserve the remainder of the mix for brownies.

At this point the bundt pan should contain the following 3 separate layers: 1) the caramel, the flan mixture, and the brownie mixture.  DO NOT stir these ingredients up. 

In a larger pan, prepare a water bath with about 2 inches of water.  Place the bundt pan into the water bath and let this mixture bake for about 3 - 4 hours.  

Make sure the cake is done by poking a toothpick in it.  If it comes out clean, it's done.

Allow the cake/flan to chill, before you attempt to unmold at room temperature.  This is definitely a winner.
