Director Iso Recipe for Flan Pans--Peppermint Cake?

[chefkathy]

I met a guest at a show right before conference who had a recipe for the retired Flan Pan Set. She said it was cream cheese, chocolate cake, peppermint...that's all she gave me. She thought it might have been on the use & care guide.

Anyone have any idea? I tried searching behind CC and came up empty. Thanks!

I found this on Chefsuccess (it's a thread about ideas for the torte pans)...hope it helps

Here they are...


I took a look in my old stuff, and I don't have a booklet of ideas (which is what I thought I had), but I did find some recipes that use the old flan pan set. The torte pan set is very similar, but the wells hold 2 cups EACH - the flan set held 2 cups total.

PUDDING FILLING
1 cup cold milk
1 package (4 serving size) instant pudding and pie filling
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Sprinkle pudding over milk in Small Batter Bowl and whisk until pudding starts to thicken. Fold in whipped topping. Spread in “well” of Flan Cake. Top with pie filling or fresh fruit.
Makes 2 cups, enough for 2 Flan Cakes.

CREAM CHEESE FILLING
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
4 teaspoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine all ingredients in Classic Batter Bowl. Mix until smooth. Spread in “well” of Flan Cakes. Top with pie filling or fresh fruit.
Makes 2 cups, enough for 2 Flan Cakes.

SUGGESTED COMBOS
Chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, chocolate shavings, whipped cream
Chocolate cake, pistachio pudding, kiwi and/or mandarin orange slices

That sounds like an interesting combination! I did a quick search and found a few recipes that might fit the bill. One is for a chocolate peppermint cream cheese cake, which uses cream cheese, chocolate cake mix, and peppermint extract. Another is for a peppermint chocolate cheesecake, which also uses cream cheese and chocolate cake mix. Both of these recipes can be found online with a quick search. I hope one of them is what you're looking for!
