Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Heat the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat until it caramelizes. Mix it a few times to help it melt evenly. Once it's brown, immediately remove from heat and pour into a 9-inch round pan. Set aside.
- Beat the eggs lightly in a bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well.
- Pour the flan mixture into the pan with the caramel sauce.
- Make the water bath by placing the flan dish into a large roasting pan and pouring water into the roasting pan (not the flan) until it reaches halfway up the side of the flan dish.
- Bake uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is set. You can insert a toothpick to check if it comes out clean.
- Let flan cool and refrigerate overnight.
- Unmold by running a knife along the edge of the pan and carefully invert onto a large platter.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Put the granulated sugar in a 9-inch cake pan or pie plate, set on the center rack in the oven, and bake until the sugar is caramel colored, 8 to 12 minutes. Swirl to cover the bottom of the pie plate with the caramel.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in pumpkin puree. In a medium bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, and vanilla. Thoroughly blend the egg mixture into the pumpkin puree.
- Set the pie plate in a large roasting pan, and pour the custard over the caramel. Carefully pour enough hot tap water into the roasting pan to reach halfway up the sides of the pie plate. Bake until the custard is set, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool and chill in the refrigerator. Run a knife around the outside edge of the flan and invert it onto a rimmed plate. Cut into wedges or scoop and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Steps:
- Arrange 8 (4-ounce) ramekins inside a 9 by 13-inch baking pan. Spray ramekins lightly with cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/3 cup sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and forms a medium-brown caramel, about 7 minutes. Working quickly, transfer 2 teaspoons of the caramel to each of the ramekins, swirling as soon as you spoon in the caramel (it will harden quickly). Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine milk and evaporated milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until warm. Reduce heat to a low simmer and keep milk warm. Meanwhile, bring about 4 cups water to a boil and keep hot. Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, remaining 1/3 cup of sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Fold pumpkin into egg mixture. Then fold into evaporated milk. Divide filling among ramekins, then place baking sheet in oven. Pour hot water into baking pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until flan is just set. Let cool. Place a dessert plate on top of each ramekin and invert; flan should slide out, and syrup should flow onto sides of the dish.
CUBAN PUMPKIN FLAN (A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO PUMPKIN PIE) W/ MUL
A Latin (and healthier!) twist on an American holiday classic....serve with a glass of sipping rum: Zacapa or Zaya Tweak the combination of seasonings to your liking...I've even added a little cayenne pepper, almond and/or rum extract. Also try adding cayenne and/or some Captain Morgan rum to the caramel mixture! I've also created a decorative topping of crushed pecans toasted with butter, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper! At times atop a dollop of cream cheese icing on each slice. You can also serve with a gravy dish of cream cheese icing on the side and fold in the spiced pecans! I have also made an icing of marzipan! See my other recipe! Nota Bene: This dessert can be prepared up to 2 days in advance.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a heavy saucepan melt 1 cup sugar over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is amber in color and has turned into a smooth liquid. Immediately remove the syrup from heat and pour evenly into the bottom of a heated 9-inch glass pie plate, 2-quart casserole dish, or a cake mold. (To heat the dish, pour hot or boiling water into it and let stand for a minute or two, then drain and dry completely before adding the sugar syrup.).
- In a heavy saucepan, bring the milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon stick or spice mixture, and salt to a boil over medium heat and remove from heat immediately. Discard the cinnamon stick.
- In a large mixing bowl beat together the eggs, egg yolks, remaining sugar, and vanilla. While the beater is running, slowly add ½ cup of the hot milk mixture and beat until eggs are tempered, then slowly add the remaining hot milk.
- Pour the mixture into the dish over the hardened sugar syrup and place in a baking pan. Add hot water to halfway up the side of the dish. Place in oven and cook for 1 hour or until the custard has set.
- Carefully remove the baking pan from the oven and remove the flan dish from the hot water bath and allow to cool. While the flan is still warm, run a knife around the edge to loosen it.
- To remove flan, place a large, deep plate face down on top of the dish and invert the flan onto the plate. Make sure the plate is large enough to hold the flan and has enough of a well to hold the syrup.
- Flan can be served warm or chilled.
- Note: The flan can be prepared 2 days in advance and kept covered and refrigerated.

PUMPKIN FLAN
For many Cubans, flan is a birthright. This version comes from Margarita Velasco, who left Cuba for America when she was 10. She got it from a relative who for years made it when Ms. Velasco and her family would gather for big American-style Thanksgiving dinners. Ms. Velasco makes it with three kinds of squash: butternut, a cooking pumpkin like a calabaza and canned pumpkin. But it works just as well with a mix of pulp from the squash and the pumpkin, which you can get by cutting them into large chunks, seeding them and then roasting or boiling. In a pinch, you could use canned pumpkin.

Steps:
- Make the caramel: In a heavy saucepan, mix 3/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup water. The mixture should look like wet sand. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to make large bubbles. Continue to cook without stirring, rotating the pan regularly, until the caramel is translucent and amber-colored, 12 to 15 minutes. Working quickly, pour caramel into a 2-quart oven-safe glass bowl and rotate the bowl so it coats the sides.
- Make the flan: In another saucepan, combine remaining sugar, cinnamon stick and half-and-half. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk eggs and egg yolks in a large bowl until well blended. Whisk in vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, salt and pumpkin and squash purées. Add cooled cream mixture and whisk well.
- Pour custard mixture through a mesh sieve, stirring and pressing with a spatula. You can do this directly into the bowl with the caramel, or into a separate bowl first, and then pour the strained mixture into the bowl with the caramel.
- Place the bowl with the custard into a larger baking dish and carefully add warm water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the flan bowl. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 45 to 60 minutes, or until flan is just set in the middle, but still jiggles slightly. (A wider, shallower baking vessel will cook more quickly than a deeper one.)
- Remove flan from water bath and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until completely cool, preferably overnight. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan, then put a serving platter on top of the bowl and invert. The flan should slip easily onto the serving platter with the caramel sauce pooling nicely around it.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt 1 cup sugar in a pan over medium heat. Stir until it caramelizes, being careful not to burn the sugar. After caramelizing the sugar, quickly throw it in the mold you are using for the flan, and move the mold around so the bottom of the mold will be covered with the caramelized sugar and set aside. It will become hardened.
- Combine the pumpkin pie filling, evaporated milk, condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, and allspice in a blender, and blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into the caramelized pan.
- Place the pan with the caramelized flan into a bigger mold filled with about 1 " of hot water.
- Being very careful not to spill the water, and get burned or have the water get into the flan,.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 50 min or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, Refrigerate for at least 3 hours. I usually leave it in the same pan if its just for our family and then serve as needed,.

SPICY PUMPKIN FLAN (HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE TO PIE)
I've made this recipe very spicy and flavourful to my tastes. Tinker around with adjustments to the spices to your liking, though I recommend leaving equal if not more ginger than cinnamon and then lessening cloves and allspice to your taste (reduce allspice before you reduce cloves for a better balance). Also, you can lighly spray cooking oil into the cake pan before you add the caramel (perhaps more on the sides than the bottom, because caramel will make it slippery on bottom). This will help you as you are trying to separate flan from pan with a spatula when cooked.
