PUMPKIN CUSTARD
This easy Thanksgiving dessert is a refreshing departure from pumpkin pie, but it has the same good old-fashioned flavor. I like to make custard. It's a cinch to prepare even on your busiest days and especially good after a hearty holiday meal, when just a touch for the sweet tooth is all you need. -Andrea Holcomb, Torrington, Connecticut

PUMPKIN CUSTARD
This is not a particularly sweet dessert, but it is creamy. The recipe calls for cream, but I use half-and-half. Much of the creaminess comes from the pumpkin puree. This is great with coffee, but better with a nice port. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in lower third. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 13-inch round. Transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pie dish. Using kitchen shears or a paring knife, trim dough to a 1-inch overhang. Fold overhang under itself to form a rim; pinch between thumb and forefinger to form a uniform edge around rim of dish. Crimp with fingertips. Refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
- Blind-bake crust: Line dough with parchment. Fill with dried beans or pie weights; bake until crust is firm and dry, about 30 minutes. Carefully remove parchment and beans. Bake until light golden, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin, 1/2 cup sugar, salt, spices, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until thick and pale. Stir into pumpkin mixture just to combine; stir in milk and cream. With a handheld mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites on low speed until foamy. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until stiff but not dry peaks form. Stir one-third of whites into pumpkin mixture. Gently fold in remaining egg whites until no streaks remain (do not overmix). Transfer to cooled crust and smooth top with a spatula.
- Bake until puffed and golden brown on top and set at edges, but still slightly wobbly in center, 45 to 55 minutes (if pie is browning too quickly, tent edges of crust with foil). Transfer to wire rack; let cool completely. Refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour or, loosely covered, up to 1 day. Serve, with whipped cream and a light dusting of nutmeg.
RICH PUMPKIN CUSTARD
"When I was on a low-fat diet, I couldn't bear the thought of celebrating Thanksgiving without my favorite pumpkin pie," explains Fort Wayne, Indiana's Mary Alice Dick. "So I altered the ingredients and created this thick pudding instead. Now I can enjoy the dessert throughout the year."

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Select a small to medium-sized sugar pumpkin or butternut squash for the best flavor and texture.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree.
- Use a food processor or blender: To achieve a smooth and creamy custard, use a food processor or blender to puree the roasted pumpkin.
- Temper the eggs: To prevent the eggs from curdling, slowly whisk them into the hot milk mixture.
- Bake in a water bath: Baking the custard in a water bath helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevents the custard from curdling or cracking.
- Chill before serving: Allow the custard to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
Conclusion:
