Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
- 1.5 cups Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water to create a smooth slurry. Set aside.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Once simmering, stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue whisking constantly to avoid lumps forming.
Add the pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, and salt. Keep whisking as the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the custard from heat and allow it to cool slightly before pouring it into serving dishes or ramekins.
Refrigerate the custard for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped coconut cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
