Baked Pumpkin Custard

Friday, November 4, 2022
Baked Pumpkin Custard is a velvety smooth delicious fall dessert or even side dish that is scrumptious for making desserts, fillings and so much more.

This delightful baked custard is one that my Grandma would make with that leftover pumpkin she would roast after Halloween.

This custard is delicious by itself or making dessert parfaits and even in a graham cracker crust!

If you're a diehard pumpkin fan, pumpkin puree baked in this smooth silky custard will be a new favorite maybe even over that slice of Pumpkin Pie.

Whipped heavy cream, with sweet smooth pumpkin, is the star of this easy dessert parfait or all-in-one pie plate as a no-cook pie (just add crust and whipped cream on top as shown below).

Perfect with a Pumpkin Spice Frappe or Pumpkin Latte when you need a beverage to go with dessert.

We add crushed cookies, and whipped cream and layered it's a true delight and a quick way to stop that pumpkin craving.

Of course, we still love to make Pumpkin Cake, Pumpkin Cream Cheese RollsPumpkin Cake Mix Cookies, and Pumpkin Bread.

Just scroll down and print off the recipe card for all our fabulous ways to eat this pumpkin custard plain or make a fabulous parfait with it!









Fun Making Pumpkin Parfait and Pies



The skies are the limit to the endless combinations you can come up with to build a parfait.


The main ingredients you would need are whipped cream, crushed cookies or graham crackers, maybe some ice cream toppings, chopped candy, and the list can go on and on even fruits can be added.


I personally love this custard in a dish while still warm with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon sugar combined.


If you love pumpkin you're going to love this easy custard that is so versatile for individual layered on the spot parfaits or even a pie with the additional crust and whipped cream.
