November 8, 2017 by Erica 18 Comments

Pumpkin Custard

One of the main reasons I eat pumpkin pie is the custard filling. So I figured I’d just cut to the chase and make the pumpkin custard. This is a simple, one-bowl recipe, and it works as breakfast, snack, or dessert. Dress it with whipped coconut cream, a dollop of yogurt, a crumble of nuts, or …
