Trader Joe's Pumpkin Flan just landed at $3.49 for 2 cups, 7.04 oz. The cheapest way to put a pumpkin dessert on the table with no oven. Two servings for $3.49.
What is it?
Two refrigerated foil cups of flan made from a traditional egg-and-milk custard blended with pumpkin purée and pie spices, cooked in a water bath with caramelized glucose syrup underneath. The ingredient list has no starches or thickeners: water, whole milk powder, egg, sugar, pumpkin purée, caramelized syrup, natural flavors, and annatto for color.

How to use it
Run a knife around the edge, invert onto a plate, and the caramel ends up on top. Trader Joe's wrote the product page around a Mexican-style spread of taquitos, potato and poblano tacos, and Guacasalsa, with this as the no-effort dessert. It is a fall-only item in the refrigerated case.
