I'm allergic to eggs, so I substituted the eggs in this recipe with flax eggs. They turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my flans turned out grainy. I'm going to try making them again.

These flans are the perfect make-ahead dessert. I made them the day before my party and they were still delicious the next day.

These flans were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I really enjoyed these flans. They were light and fluffy, and the caramel sauce was the perfect finishing touch.

The pumpkin flavor in these flans is subtle but delicious. I think they would be even better with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
