Volume 3, Number 25 - November 16, 2001
Pumpkin Custard

 


Ingredients:
    
4-1/2 cups nonfat milk
2-1/4 cups egg substitute
2 cups pumpkin puree
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions:    

Preheat oven to 325F. Whisk all ingredients together making sure that sugar is dissolved before you begin baking. Spray inside of ramekin with nonstick spray and fill 3/4 full with custard mixture. Place ramekins in a larger baking dish that will allow for water to come at least halfway up the side of the ramekins. Fill large baking dish with boiling water and cover the top of the ramekins with parchment paper sprayed with nonstick spray. 

Place two utensils or metal skewers on top of the parchment to keep from curling off in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes before checking with a skewer or fork tines to see if custard is cooked. The custard will continue to cook some as it cools so don't cook until too firm in the oven. 

Serve with fresh berries, papaya or gingersnaps. Also good flavored with vanilla instead of almond extract and using maple syrup in place of ½ of the sugar.
