Pumpkin Custard
With its warm spices and velvety texture, this Pumpkin Custard is a charming twist on traditional pumpkin pie. It’s easy to make and will leave your home smelling wonderful!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and whole milk. Whisk together until smooth.
- Add the brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt. Continue whisking until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is slightly fluffy.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into custard cups or a baking dish, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
- Place the custard cups in a baking pan and carefully add hot water to the pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the cups. This water bath will help the custards cook evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool before serving. Once cooled, you can chill them in the refrigerator for at least an hour for a refreshing treat!
Serve your Pumpkin Custard chilled or at room temperature. Top it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra special touch. This recipe is sure to be a hit at your next gathering or as a sweet reward for yourself. Enjoy the flavors of fall in each delicious bite!
