Ingredients
50g raw egg, mixed well
38g 40% heavy cream
19g canned pumpkin puree, unsweetened
10g coconut oil (can substitute butter)
1g pure vanilla extract
0.5g cinnamon
sweetener of your choice
tiny pinch of salt
Directions
Weigh and combine all the ingredients. Stir very well to combine (or you can use a blender for this step!)
Pour the mixture into a small heavy bottom pot. Turn the stove heat to medium low.
Use a whisk to stir the custard while cooking. You must stir this constantly while it cooks! If you stop stirring, it will become lumpy. The goal is to reach around 170 degrees. At this temperature, it will begin to thicken.
When it has reached the desired thickness, remove from the heat and immediately pour into a cool bowl to stop the cooking process. It is helpful to weigh the entire batch (after cooking) to determine how much each serving should weigh if you are batch cooking.
Divide the batch into each serving and enjoy!
Notes
If your eggs happen to get a little “lumpy” or curdled looking, DON”T panic! Use an immersion blender to smooth it back out. It will still taste great!
