I love pumpkin and decided to add it to a traditional recipe for flan. It's an interesting change of pace from the usual holiday pie. -Alisha Rodrigues, Tetonia, Idaho

I'm not a big fan of pumpkin, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The flan was light and fluffy, and the pumpkin flavor was subtle but noticeable.

This flan was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time I make it.

I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin desserts, but this flan was amazing! The cinnamon flavor really complemented the pumpkin, and the crust was the perfect balance of flaky and buttery.
