- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1¾ cups caster sugar
- 1 cup milk cold
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- salt
Equipment

Instructions
Pumpkin custard
- Place the pumpkin flesh into a saucepan, and cover with water. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon stick, cover and cook over medium heat for 40 minutes.
- Discard the cinnamon stick.
- Drain the pumpkin and place it into the jug of a blender with the condensed milk, a pinch of salt, vanilla, ground cinnamon and 2 oz (50 g) caster sugar. Blend to a smooth purée.
- Pour the cold milk into a bowl, add the cornstarch, and mix well to remove any lumps.
- In a non-stick saucepan over medium heat, combine the pumpkin purée, plus the milk and cornstarch mixture.
- Stir with a spatula or whisk until the mixture begins to thicken and the cornstarch is cooked. Set aside.
Caramel
- Make a light caramel by gently heating the remaining caster sugar in a non-stick saucepan over a medium-low heat until dissolved and golden brown.
- Pour the caramel into the bottom of a round flan mold or divide it between 8 individual molds, tilting the mold(s) to ensure that the bottom and sides are all evenly coated.
Assembly
- Pour in the custard mixture.
- Let the custard cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator for 6 hours, or until completely set.
- Unmold and serve.
