Like most egg dishes, this Pumpkin Egg Custard is easily elevated, uncomplicated, and has ingredients that are widely available. The pumpkin and spices lean this egg custard recipe into a stunning, yet comforting dessert.

How do you make egg custard? It’s straightforward and made with just a few ingredients you likely already have at home (except the pumpkin puree, you may need to pop into a grocery store for that).

Plunk the eggs and other ingredients in a bowl and whisk for a moment or two, then pop the mixture into the oven to bake and voilà! Silky, decadent, and creamy dessert.

The mixture needs a solid, albeit quick, whisk to ensure the consistency of the mixture is uniform and the eggs are well blended. If the eggs are not combined properly into the custard mixture they will separate out during baking and the custard will have inconsistent textures and different layers.

A low temperature water bath method is used in this recipe to keep the eggs from cooking too quickly while being baked. This method also adds moisture to the oven for that smooth texture without any hardness or cracks on the surface of the custard.

A water bath is simply a high rimmed baking pan that has a few inches of water in it (see photo below) and the item being baked in a separate baking vessel sitting inside the water.

I liked the cinnamon dusted whipping cream on top of these Egg Custards as the whipped cream garnish was a nice compliment.

That being said, sprinkling some sugar on top and torching each custard briefly is a great take on a healthier pumpkin crème brûlée that would be amazing too.

Other garnish variations would include some candied pecans or crumbled dark chocolate cookie.
