Smooth creamy custard can't be beat as a dessert treat, this pumpkin custard recipe adds the unique flavor of spices and pumpkin to give plain custard an interesting twist.
Ingredients:
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup evaporated skim milk
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 large egg white
Directions:
1. In 1-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine pumpkin, evaporated skim milk, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Microwave, uncovered, on medium (50 percent power) for 3 minutes.
2. In small bowl, beat egg and egg white until blended.
3. Slowly stir egg mixture into pumpkin mixture; divide pudding mixture among four 5-oz microwave-safe custard cups.
4. Microwave on medium 2 to 3 minutes or until puddings are barely firm. (Do not overcook; puddings will thicken and firm more upon cooling.)
5. Set aside to cool at least 10 minutes.
