Pumpkin Flan
Pumpkin Flan is a seasonal variation of the classic caramel flan, incorporating pumpkin puree and spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to create a rich, autumnal dessert.
This creamy custard is baked in a water bath to achieve a smooth, silky texture and is topped with a layer of caramel sauce that adds a sweet, slightly bitter contrast. The addition of pumpkin not only imparts a warm, earthy flavor but also gives the flan a vibrant orange hue.
Often served during the fall and Thanksgiving seasons, pumpkin flan combines the traditional flan’s elegance with the comforting, spiced flavors of pumpkin pie, making it a festive and popular choice for seasonal gatherings and celebrations. Its unique twist on a classic dessert reflects both the versatility of flan and the seasonal appeal of pumpkin.

Make this Straight-From-the-Restaurant Uncle Julio's Pumpkin Flan Recipe at home and your Pumpkin Flan will taste just like Uncle Julio's.
Yield: 10 Flans
Equipment
- Ten 8-ounce Oven-Proof Ramekins
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups Sugar divided
- 1/3 cup Water plus more for brushing
- One 15-ounce can Solid Pack Pumpkin Purée
- 1 tablespoon ground Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Cinnamon plus more for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 quarts Milk divided
- 6 large Eggs
- 17 large Egg Yolks
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Whipped Cream to serve
Instructions
- Place ten 8-ounce oven-proof ramekins in bottom of large deep roasting pan. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small heavy bottomed saucepan, add 1 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water. Mix.
- Place saucepan over medium high heat.
- Heat and mix to dissolve sugar. To prevent crystallization of sugar, use a wet pastry brush to brush down any sugar on the sides of pan.
- Cook sugar to an amber brown, brushing down sides of any sugar, and gently swirling pan occasionally.
- Remove from heat and, working quickly, pour a thin layer of caramel into ramekins tilting to coat bottoms. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment or a blender on medium speed, combine pumpkin, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg and 3 cups of milk. Blend until smooth.
- Place a large saucepan over medium heat. Add pumpkin mixture, remaining 5 cups milk and remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar. Mix with a whisk to combine. Heat until it comes to a simmer, whisking occasionally. Remove from heat. Set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium high, whip whole eggs, yolks and vanilla 1 minute.
- Reduce to low speed. Temper the eggs by slowly adding 1 cup of hot milk mixture. Repeat with another cup of hot milk mixture.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and add remaining milk mixture, stirring slowly to avoid creating "foam" in the custard.
- Using a large measuring cup with a spout or a ladle, fill the prepared ramekins 1/4-inch from the top.
- Place the roasting pan in oven. Add enough hot water to reach 1/2-inch from the tops of the ramekins. Cook until the blade of paring knife inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- Remove from water bath and cool on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate and chill before serving.
- To serve, run a paring knife around the edge, invert flans onto rimmed dessert plates to catch the caramel sauce.
- Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon.
