Ingredients
CUSTARD
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ¾ cups pureed pumpkin
  • ¾ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger
  • Dash of cloves
  • 1 cup coconut milk
COCONUT MILK WHIPPED CREAM (optional)
  • 1 can full fat coconut milk or coconut cream, chilled for at least 2 hours, overnight is better
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Prepare custard by lightly whisking 2 eggs in a medium mixing bowl. Add 1 ¾ cups pureed pumpkin and whisk together with eggs.
  3. Add ¾ cups granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, ¾ teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ginger, and a dash of cloves to the pumpkin and egg mixture. Whisk until combined.
  4. Add 1 cup coconut milk to mixture and stir together.
  5. Pour custard into 6 small ramekins until about ¾ of the way full. Place on a baking sheet or in a baking dish and bake for 1 hr or until a knife inserted comes out clean.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
  7. Serve by themselves or topped with a dollop (or two) of coconut milk whipped cream. Recipe below.
  8. Make coconut milk whipped cream by skimming just the cream from the top of the coconut milk and placing in a medium mixing bowl. Beat cream until fluffy using a stand or hand mixer, about 3-4 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract to the cream and beat until combined. Top each custard with a dollop or two and enjoy!
Notes
*You can use a medium sized baking dish if you don’t have individual ramekins.
*Store leftovers covered in the fridge for 1-3 days.
