Insert the tip of a knife into a flan's center to make sure it's the consistency of pumpkin pie. If there's liquid in the center, return to the oven. When the flans are done, remove the cups from the water with a spatula and place them on a cooling rack. While they're still warm, drizzle a teaspoon of maple syrup on the top of each flan. When the cups have cooled down, refrigerate for a few hours until thoroughly cooled. Serve plain or topped with a dollop of ginger cream.

Ginger Cream

1 pint whipping cream, well-chilled
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp finely chopped crystallized ginger*

Chill the bowl and beaters in the freezer for a few minutes before whipping the cream. Using an electric mixer, beat the whipping cream until it starts to thicken. Add the sugar, vanilla and ginger and beat until almost stiff. Taste for sweetness, then slowly beat until the cream is the desired consistency — fluffy but not too stiff. Serve or cover with plastic wrap and chill until serving time. Stir before serving.

*Crystallized ginger can be purchased at a natural food store or the Asian food section of your supermarket.
