4 pumpkin custard recipes

A lower carb twist on a Thanksgiving tradition. No crust! And a tasty pecan and candied ginger streusel topping.

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

Diabetic pumpkin custard: a sugar-free single-serve pumpkin custard sweetened with saccharin and baked in a water bath. A light fall dessert for anyone watching carbs.

A creamy, spice-forward pumpkin pie made the traditional way. Canned pumpkin purée, warm cinnamon and nutmeg, and a 9-inch baked crust come together for a Thanksgiving dessert that holds its shape. No microwave needed.
