Pumpkin Custard Recipe

Pumpkin Custard RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Pumpkin Custard Recipe Rating 5

THIS DESSERT is a refreshing departure from pumpkin pie, but it has the same good old-fashioned flavor. I like to make custard. It's a cinch to prepare even on your busiest days and especially good after a hearty holiday meal, when just a touch for the sweet tooth is all you need. -Andrea Holcomb, Torrington, Connecticut

it was easy to make, and I used heavy cream because that is what I had in the fridge. I took a lot longer to cook than 20 min. more like 40...maybe it was the cream. I recommend you try it! and I am only 14 and thought it was easy!

To make a crustless Pumpkin Pie, simply add 2 T of sifted Corn Starch to the recipe on the can per pie. Spray your 9" square pan(s), and bake as directed. It's excellent! Hint: Unsifted Corn Starch will clump in your batter.

This is dessert is the best! It's like eating a pumpkin pie without the crust. The topping is also great, but it would do fine without it, too. I love to bake with pumpkin, and I've already made this twice. A definite winner!
