This easy pumpkin custard is a hit every year at Thanksgiving. My son reallyloves it.
I follow the recipe on the Libby’s can for pumpkin pie, using coconut milkas the milk sub and of course, using a gf vanilla. Then cook in a waterbath.
Water bath instructions from Joy of Cooking:–Use a roasting pan large enough to accommodate the custard(s) comfortably.You can use single-serve, pie or pyrex-type containers. They should nottouch each other or the sides of the roasting pan.–Either set a cake rack in the pan (that’s what I do) or cover the panbottom with a dish towel or several layers of paper towels.–Arrange the custards in the dry pan, slip the pan into a preheated 325oven, and immediately pour enough scalding-hot tap water into the pan tocome one-half to one-thirds of the way up the sides of the custard dishes.
This increases the baking time substantially. A pumpkin pie cooks in about35-45 minutes, whereas pumpkin custard in a deep-dish pie pan takes at least75 minutes. To test for doneness, insert a knife two-thirds of the way fromthe side of the dish towards the center. The knife should come out clean orwith a tiny smudge of custard adhering.
If your oven does not cook evenly (or if you’re cooking several single-servecustards) rotate the pan midway through baking. If you think any of thecustards have overcooked, immediate set the container in cold water toarrest cooking.

Ok, this is probably a dumb question, but if my son can’t have eggs, canI still make custard using an egg substitute, and not the powder, morelike the flax seed recipe.

I made “Custard” for my daughter yesterday. I took a GREAT GFCFpumpkin pie recipe (with egg sub) and poured it into ramekins.
Mine was a bit different as I had to substitute the seasonings andsugar, but my daughter still enjoyed it.
1 tbs unflavored gelatin1/3 cup water1/2 cup “milk”2 cups of canned pumpkin1/3 cup maple sugar1/4 cup honey or brown rice syrup.5 tsp cardamom (my daughter cannot have cinnamon).25 tsp nutmeg (my daughter cannot have ginger).125 tsp cloves.25 tsp salt
Let gelatin sit in water (in a saucepan) for about a minute.Heat on low as it dissolves and stir in the remaining items. I pouredinto four ramekins and popped in the fridge to set.
