Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups canned pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, pure maple syrup, and brown sugar until smooth and well-blended.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
Stir in ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to ensure a silky texture.
Divide the custard evenly among 6 small ramekins.
Place the ramekins in a large baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Remove the ramekins from the water bath and cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Chill the custards in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Optional: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of maple syrup before serving.
