How to Make Cinnamon Pumpkin Custard

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 4 large eggs, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground allspice until well combined.
  3. Gently stir in 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch quiche dish or pie plate.
  5. Place the dish in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the quiche dish (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, or up to 24 hours for optimal flavor.
  9. **For the Salted Caramel Drizzle:** In a heavy 8-inch skillet, heat ½ cup granulated sugar over medium-high heat. Do not stir!
  10. Swirl the pan occasionally until the sugar begins to melt and turn a light amber color. Reduce heat to low.
  11. Continue to cook, swirling occasionally, until the sugar is completely melted and a deep golden amber color (about 5 more minutes).
  12. Remove from heat and carefully stir in 2 tablespoons of heavy cream (it will bubble vigorously!). Stir until smooth.
  13. Stir in ¼ teaspoon of sea salt.
  14. Let the caramel cool slightly before drizzling over the chilled custard.
  15. Let the custard sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving. Serve immediately after drizzling with caramel.
