Ingredients (serves 6-8):
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Cooking Tips:
- Use a blender or food processor to mix the ingredients together for a smooth and creamy texture.
- Be sure to grease your baking dish well to prevent sticking.
- Allow the flan to cool completely before serving to ensure the perfect texture.
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
3. In a small saucepan, heat the granulated sugar over medium heat until it melts and turns a golden brown color. Pour the melted sugar into a 9-inch baking dish and swirl it around to coat the bottom of the dish.
4. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the baking dish and place it in a larger baking dish. Fill the larger dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the smaller dish.
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove the flan from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
7. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the dish to loosen the flan. Invert the dish onto a serving platter and carefully remove the baking dish.
