Pumpkin Flan

Ingredients:

• Caramel:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup water

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Prepare the Caramel:
   • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Cook over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color. Do not stir.
   • Quickly pour the caramel into a 9-inch round baking dish, swirling to coat the bottom.
2. Make the Flan Mixture:
   • In a blender, combine pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
3. Bake the Flan:
   • Pour the pumpkin mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.
   • Place the dish in a larger baking pan and add hot water to come halfway up the sides of the dish.
   • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until set.
   • Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
