Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 pie pumpkin

Steps:

  • Cut stem off of pumpkin to create a hole using a good, strong knife, as cutting through a pumpkin can be tricky. Scoop and scrape pulp and seeds out of pumpkin, saving seeds to roast later. Cut pumpkin in quarters. Cut quarters in 1/2 again.
  • Place pumpkin pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, tight enough to not let any steam or moisture escape during cooking time.
  • Microwave for 7 minutes, checking seal of plastic wrap halfway through cooking time to ensure no moisture is not escaping. Continue cooking in the microwave for another 8 minutes. Remove plastic wrap by pulling wrap furthest from you back towards you, allowing hot steam to escape away from you. Let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Peel skin from pumpkin using your fingers.
  • Puree peeled pumpkin using a food processor, hand masher, or a potato ricer.

Tips:

This will ensure that you get the best flavor and texture in your custard. - Be sure to remove the seeds and stringy pulp from the pumpkin before cooking. This will help to prevent your custard from becoming bitter. - Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer, creamier custard. You can also use almond milk or skim milk if you prefer. - Add a tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice to your custard for a warm, autumnal flavor. - If you don't have a microwave, you can also bake your custard in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-50 minutes. - Let your custard cool completely before serving. You can either refrigerate it for several hours or overnight, or you can serve it warm.
