How to Make Microwave Pumpkin Custard

  1. In a 1-quart microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1 cup evaporated skim milk, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  2. In a separate small microwave-safe bowl, whisk 2 large eggs and 2 large egg whites until light and frothy.
  3. Gradually whisk the egg mixture into the pumpkin mixture until thoroughly combined.
  4. Divide the custard mixture evenly among four (5-ounce) microwave-safe custard cups.
  5. Microwave on medium power for 2-3 minutes, or until the puddings are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.

  7. Serve warm or chill in the refrigerator for a refreshing cold treat.
