Ingredients:

  • 3 cups half-and-half
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup molasses
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups puréed pumpkin, or about 1 1/2 cans
  • Whipped topping or sweetened whipped cream

Preparation:

Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish. In a small saucepan, bring half-and-half to a simmer; set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar, molasses, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Mix in pumpkin and warm half-and-half. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Set dish in a large baking pan. Add hot water to the large pan to a depth of about 1 inch. It should come about halfway up the side of the inner baking dish. Bake at 325° for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until custard is set in the center. It should only jiggle very slightly. Cool completely before serving; can be covered and refrigerated overnight. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping.
