A delightful twist on the classic pumpkin pie, this crustless version is rich in flavor and light on calories.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the custard.
In a mixing bowl, combine the pureed pumpkin, eggs, salt, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla extract, sugar substitute, and milk.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure a smooth and even mixture.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan sprayed with cooking spray.
Use a silicone spatula to scrape all the mixture into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C) and bake for an additional 45 minutes.
Check the custard halfway through to ensure even baking.
Test for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
If the knife doesn't come out clean, bake for an additional 5 minutes and check again.
Allow the custard to cool before serving. Enjoy your Spiced Pumpkin Custard Delight!
Cooling helps the custard set properly, making it easier to slice.
