Pumpkin Custard



Easy to prepare and bring to any party. You get the warmth and comfort with a delightful texture that will remind you of pumpkin pie and holiday cheer. Yes PLEASE!

1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree solid packed*
1 cup evaporated skim milk
3/4 cup liquid egg substitute such as egg beaters
2 T real maple syrup
1 t maple flavor
1 t vanilla extract
1 t pumpkin pie spice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whip all ingredients together until smooth and creamy in texture. Place 1 cup of uncooked custard into 6 separate ramekin dishes.
Place dishes on a cookie sheet and bake in the center of the oven for 30 minutes. The custard will jiggle when you shake the cookie sheet; PERFECT! Cool it on a wire rack for 15 minutes and the custard will set and the family will gather wondering when they can eat it all up.
Dollop each with 2 T whipped cream and serve or chill safely for up to 3 days in the fridge.

*do not use pumpkin pie filling.
