Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Whisk
Ramekins or large baking dish
Larger baking pan for water bath
Wire rack

Ingredients

1 15-oz can pumpkin puree 425g
1 cup full-fat coconut milk 240ml
3 large eggs
½ cup pure maple syrup 118ml
1 tsp pure vanilla extract 5ml
1 tsp ground cinnamon 2.6g
½ tsp ground nutmeg 1.3g
¼ tsp ground ginger 0.6g
⅛ tsp ground cloves 0.3g
Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and a pinch of sea salt to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout.
Gently pour the mixture into six individual ramekins or a single large baking dish suitable for custards.
Place the ramekins or baking dish into a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins or baking dish. This water bath will help the custard cook evenly and maintain moisture.
Carefully transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Once done, remove the custards from the oven and allow them to cool in the water bath for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the best flavor and texture, chill the custard in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

For an extra touch of indulgence, serve with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you prefer a sweeter custard, adjust the maple syrup to taste, keeping in mind the paleo principles. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
