Total time: 1 hr
Ingredients: 2 eggs; 2 egg yolks; 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour; 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree; 1 cup half-and-half; 1 cup milk; 0.5 cup white sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg; 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger

This pumpkin custard offers a creamy texture without excessive sweetness. While the recipe suggests cream, half-and-half works wonderfully. The creamy richness largely comes from the pumpkin puree itself. Pairs excellently with coffee or a fine port wine. Top with whipped cream for an extra touch.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease six custard cups or ramekins with butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, egg yolks, and flour until you achieve a smooth consistency. In a separate bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, half-and-half, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger; then, blend this mixture into the egg mixture until it is smooth. Spoon the resulting custard evenly into the prepared cups.
Place the filled custard cups on a large baking pan. Carefully pour water around the cups until it reaches halfway up their sides.
Bake in the preheated oven until the custards are set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center, approximately 40 minutes. Serve either at room temperature or chilled to your preference.
