Best pumpkin custard recipe

I kind of like this pumpkin custard. This is a great substitute for making whole pumpkin pie. You can put it in a separate side dish with a ball of whipped cream.

Not only is it a great dessert idea for any fall holiday, but it is also great at any time of the pumpkin season, even though it is always pumpkin mousse time in my book.

I like that this recipe is easy to make on any normal weekday evening, but it is elegant enough to hold large gatherings. My favorite method is to put a little whipped cream on top and refrigerate. Add chopped pecans and toppings sprinkled with cinnamon to give it extra spice and crunch. You can also serve hot custard-whatever you like!

Pumpkin Custard Water Bath

If you’ve never made custard before, it may be a bit tricky at first because you put them in a small bowl or cup and then bake them in another pan filled with water-this is called For a water bath. But don’t be nervous. If you just follow the instructions, the results will be great. 🙂

What kind of baked custard: You need a heat-resistant baking tray to make this dessert, such as custard cup (flared) or ramen (straight side). If you don’t have these, you can use a smaller wide-mouth mason jar.

What is the function of the water bath? It just adds moisture to the oven and helps when making cheesecake or custard to prevent it from cracking or overcooking. If there is no water bath, the outside of the custard will be overcooked before the center is ready.

To make this simple pumpkin custard, first mix pumpkin puree, eggs, half and half, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Beat them together until they merge.

Pour the batter evenly into 3 greased 10-ounce oven-safe containers (I like to use ramekins).

Place the cup in a 9×13 baking pan. Then pour about an inch of hot water around the cup. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. While the custard is baking, put the brown sugar, melted butter, and pecans in a small bowl.

After the custards are roasted for 20 minutes, take them out of the oven and sprinkle them with the pecan mixture. Bake for another 35-40 minutes.

Remember, you can provide these hot or cold! Store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Pumpkin Custard Recipe Notes:

• Water bath is also called bain-marie
• Don’t over-check the custard. Every time the oven is turned on, heat and moisture will be lost.
• If you make several at a time, they may cook at different times. So pay close attention to them.
• To avoid splashing hot water: After placing the pan on the grill, add 1 inch of hot water to the grill pan, and then gently slide the grill into the oven.

How do I know when the custard is ready? Since the custard should be a bit wobbly in the center, you can know when the custard is ready by inserting a butter knife between the center and the sides of the plate. If it comes out clean, it is done.

Which pumpkin custard topping is best? We will definitely add some freshly chopped pecans, some whipped cream and a little cinnamon on top. You can also add nutmeg or pumpkin spice to your liking.
