Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with the butter and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs to the mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
Mix in the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins to create a water bath.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Refrigerate the custards for at least 2 hours before serving.
Optional: Top with whipped cream and toasted coconut flakes for added texture and flavor before serving.
