Pumpkin cake on the bottom, pumpkin flan in the middle, and salted pumpkin seed brittle on top: if you're looking for an alternative to pumpkin pie that still captures the essence of the season, you'll find it at AzĂșcar.
"The pumpkin flan becomes more popular every year," says owner Vivian Hernandez-Jackson, explaining that bringing the large size to a Thanksgiving gathering can quickly become a tradition. Once people try it, they fall in love and will accept no substitutes.
