Butternut Squash Creme Flan With Caramel Sauce image

Flan also known as creme caramel outside of South American countries and the United States, is a custard-based dessert topped with a layer of caramel. Flan originated in Europe and later became very popular in Central and South America. This version of cre'me caramel, retains the custard's lightness, but adds the rich flavor of winter squash for a unique fall or winter desert. It can be served without the carmel sauce or can be made as a pie, by preparing a 9" pie crust (partially baked), then add custard and bake at 450 degrees for 10 min., then lower heat to 325 degrees for 30 min. or until knife comes clean.

This flan was a bit too firm for my taste, but it still had a good flavor. I would recommend baking it for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my flan turned out really runny. I'm going to try again with a different recipe.

This flan is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good dessert. I would recommend using less sugar in the caramel sauce.
