• pumpkin puree1 cup
• eggs2

• heavy cream3/4 cup
• ground cinnamon1 tsp
• ground ginger1/2 tsp

Method

1. 1Whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, heavy cream, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
2. 2Divide the mixture among four lightly greased ramekins or oven-safe cups.
3. 3Mix rolled oats, chopped walnuts, and melted butter together to form a loose crumble.
4. 4Sprinkle the crumble evenly over each custard.
5. 5Bake at 350°F until the custards are set at the edges with a slight wobble in the center, about 25 to 30 minutes.
6. 6Cool for 10 minutes before serving so the texture firms up slightly.
7. 7Serve warm, optionally with a small spoonful of whipped cream.

Tips

• Bake the custards in a water bath if you want an extra-silky texture.
• Chill leftovers and eat them cold for a firmer, cheesecake-like dessert.
