A bite of this flan, fragrant with traditional pumpkin-pie spices, is very comforting despite the dessert's modern looks; a topping of pumpkin seeds, seasoned with cayenne, creates a play of sweet and heat.

Cooks' notes:

• Flan can be chilled 1 day.
• Spiced pumpkin seeds keep in an airtight container at room temperature, 3 days.
