How to Make Tofu Pumpkin Custard With Gingersnap Crumble

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray six 6-ounce ramekins with nonstick vegetable spray.
  3. To make the gingersnap topping:
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup gingersnap crumbs and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  5. Grate 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter and add it to the gingersnap mixture.
  6. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  7. To make the custards:
  8. In a food processor or blender, puree 14 ounces (one block) firm or extra-firm silken tofu until completely smooth.
  9. Add 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon rum extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves.
  10. Puree until thoroughly blended and smooth.
  11. Add 3 large egg whites and blend until just combined. Do not overmix.
  12. Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly among the six prepared ramekins.
  13. Bake for 20 minutes.
  14. Remove the ramekins from the oven and sprinkle the gingersnap topping evenly over the pumpkin mixture.
  15. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the custard are set and the center is just slightly jiggly.
