Pumpkin Pie Alternative: Maple Pumpkin Pots de Creme

I was up early, trolling my favorite sites for an alternative to pumpkin pie. I can't do my Thanksgiving shopping yet, since my fridge is totally stuffed with 24 dishes of savory pumpkin cannelloni, but I would like to get my shopping list in order. I love flan, so I thought maybe I'd give pumpkin flan a try this year, but all of the recipes were too involved. I don't think I can follow a new recipe step by step this week, so that's out. Remembering how easy (and delicious) those chocolate pots de creme were this winter, I was thrilled to find a recipe for Maple Pumpkin Pots de Creme on epicurious. I think these will be a perfect make-ahead dessert that everyone will like!
