I had a hard time finding pumpkin purée, so I used canned pumpkin instead. The flans still turned out great!

The flans were a bit runny, but they still tasted good. I think I might have overcooked them a bit.

The pumpkin flans were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These pumpkin flans were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust and they still tasted delicious. I also added a dollop of whipped cream on top and it was the perfect touch.
