Description
This Easy Pumpkin Flan recipe combines smooth pumpkin custard with golden caramel for the ultimate fall dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt granulated sugar until it becomes a golden amber syrup. Carefully pour into a flan mold or baking dish and tilt to coat the bottom. Set aside.
- In a blender, combine pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Blend until smooth.
- Pour the custard mixture over the set caramel. Place the flan dish inside a larger baking dish and fill the outer dish with hot water to create a water bath.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50–60 minutes, until the center is just set with a slight jiggle.
- Let the flan cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- To serve, run a knife around the edge of the flan and invert onto a serving plate. The caramel should cascade over the top.
