- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine all the dry ingredients in a small bowl and whisk well to make sure the cornstarch is well incorporated. Take the time to break up any clumps of cornstarch.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, and egg yolk until incorporated and smooth.
- Add the pumpkin puree and mix until well blended.
- With the mixer running on low speed, gradually add the almond milk or oat milk and continue to mix until throughly incorporated.
- Add the spice and sugar mixture and whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
- Lightly spray each ramekin with Bak-Klene or your favorite Baking Spray.
- Pour a 1/2 cup of mixture into each ramekin and place them on a baking sheet.
- Place baking sheet in preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes. Test with knife for doneness. A knife inserted into the center of the ramekin should come out clean with only a few crumbs adhering to it.
- If the custard is still very wet and the knife comes out coated or streaked, continue to cook and check for doneness every 5 minutes.
- When the custard is cooked, remove sheet pan from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before attempting to move the ramekins to a cooling rack.
- Once transferred to a cooling rack, let ramekins cool for about 15 minutes then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Pumpkin Custard {dairy free}

Make sure to use ramekins or oven-proof bowls that can hold between 4 and 8 ounces (between 118 and 237 ml). The water bath is essential to keeping the custard from cracking while it’s baking.Another option is to bake all the custard in one large baking dish, which may take longer to bake but is easier to use to serve various portion sizes, and creates fewer dishes.While not sweetener-free, this recipe taps into the sweetness of the squash puree, vanilla and cinnamon to sweeten the custard. If you prefer your custard a little less sweet, you can reduce the sweetener by 1 to 2 tablespoons.If you’re following SCD, use honey instead of maple syrup.

Ingredients:
- 1 and 1/2 cups full fat coconut milk (I use THIS brand)
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice (my fav brand)
- pinch of salt
- 6 eggs yolks
- 1 and 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (homemade or canned)
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- hot water for hot water bath
- OPTIONAL: whipped coconut cream for topping
How to cook:
- Preheat oven to 350’F. Line large baking dish with a small towel – this prevents ramekins from sliding around. Set aside.
- In a medium pot, heat coconut milk, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until steamy and hot but not boiling. Turn off heat.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla. When coconut milk is HOT, very slowly whisk HALF of coconut milk mixture into egg mixture (go slow to prevent eggs from cooking.)
- Pour the warm pumpkin mixture into saucepan with the remaining coconut milk and stir with a wooden spoon over LOW heat until thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon – about 5 minutes.
- Pour custard mixture into small ramekins and place into prepared baking dish. Pour boiling water into the large baking dish until it reaches halfway up the ramekins. Carefully transfer into pre-heated oven.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean but center is still slightly jiggly. Allow to cool completely on wire rack then cover and transfer to fridge to chill for a few hours. Can be eaten warm, but best flavor comes from eating it chilled. Top with optional whipped coconut cream if desired.
