How to Make Pumpkin Flan

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a blender, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, heavy cream, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Blend until completely smooth.
  3. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.
  4. Carefully pour the flan mixture into individual ramekins or a large baking dish.
  5. Place the ramekins in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (this creates a water bath).
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the water bath.
  8. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flan to fully set.
  9. To serve, carefully run a thin knife around the edges of the flan to loosen it from the ramekins.
  10. Invert onto serving plates and garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg (optional).
