Fall is calling you with this easy pumpkin pecan custard topped with a crunchy pecan crumble with a homemade bourbon whipped cream. Oh, and did we mention they are drizzled with caramel sauce!
I hope you are in a pumpkin mood because including today, I've made three new recipes this month - first up was Overnight Pumpkin Oatmeal followed by Spicy Pumpkin Spice Almonds and today we have these individual servings of bliss! If you love pumpkin pie (and who doesn't?) then today you are in for a treat with these pumpkin custard individual desserts. A smooth pie texture topped with a pecan crumble, topped with a fresh bourbon whipped cream and drizzled with caramel sauce. Dare I say it is better than a pie and you don't need to make crust! Grab a fork and dig in.
I'm kinda sucker when I'm standing in the grocery checkout line and happen across the Better Homes and Gardens special interest publications. Sometimes I can pass on them but this month the title was called 100 Best Pumpkin Recipes (not an affiliate link) and the cover looked delicious as in I wanted to take a bite! I flipped through a few pages and then it just happened in my cart... hmmm
I found several recipes that I wanted to try including today's. I changed it up a bit by adding the whipped cream and caramel drizzle. It would be fine on its own but these additions really brought it to a whole new level.
I'm sure I will be making some more recipes from the magazine. I've bookmarked quite a few - some sweet and some savory. It's probably going to be raining pumpkin recipes here for awhile - hope our skin doesn't turn orange 🙂
What I really loved about the recipe is that it so easy. Just combine the custard ingredients, pour in ramekins, bake, and cool. These really would make a great dessert idea for company. In fact we had some friends over and they loved them! I think you will too!!
These will taste fine with no whipped cream or caramel...

Fall is calling you with these easy individual servings of pumpkin custard topped with a crunchy pecan crumble with a homemade bourbon whipped cream. Oh, and did we mention they are drizzled with caramel sauce!
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten

- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup packed dark brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ⅛ teaspoon salt

Place pan on middle rack of oven and then slowly add in hot water until it comes up half way on the ramekins. Bake for 25 minutes (note: my roasting pan was not big enough so I baked 4 ramekins then the other 4 - the mixture stayed fine)

- After 25 minutes divide the crumble mixture between the 8 cups and bake an additional 15-20 minutes until a knife inserted comes out clean
