Pumpkin and coconut caramel flan for the 2016 Virtual Pumpkin Party / Pudim de Abóbora e coco para a Festa Virtual da Abóbora de 2016.

I really felt very chuffed when Aimee - Twigg Studios, invited me to be part of the Virtual Pumpkin Party that she is hosting today with Sara Cornelius from the gorgeous blog Cake over Steak.

I love Autumn with its brown and orangy colours and moods and I'm a true pumpkin lover.

Being part of this beautiful virtual gathering with such amazing bloggers and with a recipe that features an ingredient that I love so much, it's a real honour.

This recipe is my interpretation of a classic that my mum and my mother in law always make for Christmas and that we all love.
Saying that, here is my suggestion for this amazing virtual party and don't forget to check out the links of all the participants at the bottom of this post. More than 100 bloggers took part and prepared absolutely delicious suggestions.
If those links and suggestions don't get you inspired to cook with pumpkin for the rest of the pumpkin season, I don't know what will :))...
