Time 2h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3/4 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups puréed cooked pumpkin (from 1 3/4-pound raw wedge); canned is O.K.
4 cups milk
1/4 cup semolina
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil, for brushing
1/4 cup green pumpkinseeds
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar with 1/4 cup water. Simmer over medium-high heat, stirring often, until sugar dissolves. Partly cover pan and continue cooking until sugar turns medium amber, about 6 minutes. Immediately pour caramel into a 2 1/2-quart soufflé dish and quickly turn to coat bottom and sides.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small saucepan, cook pumpkin over medium-high heat, stirring often, until dryish. In a large saucepan, heat milk with remaining 1 cup sugar until barely simmering. Gradually stir in semolina and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Whisk in pumpkin. Remove pan from heat and let cool slightly. Beat in eggs, vanilla and salt, then pour into soufflé dish.
  • Set soufflé dish in a roasting pan. Pour hot water into pan to reach halfway up side of dish. Bake until a knife inserted in flan comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours. Transfer dish to a rack and let cool slightly, then cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Lightly brush a medium skillet with oil. Add pumpkinseeds and toast over medium heat until they begin to pop and brown slightly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in kosher salt and cinnamon.
  • Run a knife around flan. Invert a round platter over dish. Holding dish and platter securely together, quickly invert flan onto platter; caramel sauce will spill out. Sprinkle flan with some cinnamon pumpkinseeds just before serving.

This flan was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust and it worked perfectly. The flan was creamy and flavorful, and the pumpkin seeds added a nice touch of crunch.

This flan is the perfect fall dessert! The pumpkin flavor is rich and decadent, and the cinnamon adds a warm and cozy spice. I love serving this with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This flan was a disappointment. The texture was grainy and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I was a little skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The flan was absolutely delicious. The pumpkin flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the sugar. I will definitely be making this again.
