1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and turns golden, about 10 minutes.

3

Pour the caramel into a round baking dish, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.

4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree (calabaza blanda), sweetened condensed milk (leche condensada), evaporated milk (leche), eggs (huevos), vanilla extract (vainilla), cinnamon (canela), and a pinch of salt until smooth.

5

Pour the pumpkin mixture over the caramel in the baking dish.

6

Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan and fill the pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the dish.

7

Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the flan is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.

8

Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

9

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set further.

10

To serve, run a knife around the edges of the flan and invert onto a serving plate.
