For best results, use high-quality spices to enhance the flavor profile. Toast the pecans lightly before chopping to bring out their nutty flavor. You can do this in a dry pan over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for about 5-7 minutes. If you don't have ramekins, you can use a similar-sized oven-safe dish, but adjust the baking time accordingly. Be careful not to overbake the custard, as it can become rubbery. The knife test is the best way to determine doneness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepCustard Preparation (5 minutes): Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease six 6-ounce (180ml) ramekins and arrange them on a baking sheet. This ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
02
StepMixing the Custard Base (10 minutes): In a medium bowl or a large glass measuring cup, lightly beat the eggs with a fork. Add 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, vanilla extract, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir in the pumpkin puree until well blended. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until smooth.
03
StepPouring into Ramekins (2 minutes): Evenly pour the custard mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
04
StepFirst Bake (20 minutes): Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. This initial bake sets the custard slightly.
05
StepPreparing the Pecan Topping (5 minutes - while custards are baking): In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons brown sugar, flour, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir well. Fold in the chopped toasted pecans.
06
StepAdding the Topping (2 minutes): After the initial 20-minute bake, carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and sprinkle the pecan topping evenly over each custard.
07
StepFinal Bake (15 minutes): Return the ramekins to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. This ensures the custard is fully cooked and the topping is golden brown.
08
StepCooling and Serving (10 minutes cooling + serving): Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Jun 15, 2025The custard was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the brown sugar by a tablespoon, and it was perfect.
