Most pumpkin desserts are full of sugar and other additives, but not our healthy pumpkin pie custard. It tastes just like pumpkin pie and is totally guilt free. Using only 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup – with a bump of sweetness from monk fruit extract, this delicious treat has only about 150 calories per serving.

- 15 Ounces canned pumpkin
- 1/2 Cup heavy cream or coconut cream for dairy free

- 1/2 Teaspoon salt
- 2 Teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 Teaspoon Monk Fruit Pure Sweetener

- Optional: dollop of fresh whipped cream
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Optional: Spray 6 ramekins with Avocado oil spray if you don’t want to serve in the ramekins

Chocolate Option:
This custard is so healthy and easy to make you will want to use it all year round. We even have eaten it as part of our breakfast.
To make the chocolate option of this custard, simply omit the pumpkin pie spice and add 1/4 cup of dark cocoa powder. We love this brand of cocoa powder because it is so deep, rich and chocolaty Organic Cocoa Dutch Process
