Pumpkin Pie Flan, Mexican dessert with a pumpkin flair, creamy smooth and the perfect ending to any meal.
Flan is a traditionally a Mexican dessert, and there are many versions. The Pumpkin Pie Flan sounded so good to make for this time of the year.
Ever since I returned from a mission trip to Mexico this summer, I have wanted to make a flan. One of my favorite times on the mission trip was when the team leaders gathered together for a late night cup of coffee. And inevitably there was always someone who would order the Flan with a fork for each of us to have a bite.
I didn't eat a bite of this flan without thinking of them.
