Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - Harborwitch - 07-20-2007 At last! The dessert! By now I think there had been enough wine served to make us forget to take a picture of this! Take my word for it, this is so easy - so incredibly good! This will be the "go to" dessert around here for a long time! Coconut Pumpkin "custard" Brulee Yield: 6 - 2/3 cup servings Time: 10 minutes to assemble 40 minutes to bake Total time: 50 minutes Ingredients: 1 can Coconut Milk 1 cup canned packed pumpkin (not pie mix) 3/4 cup sugar 4 large eggs 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp coconut extract 1/4 tsp nutmeg Cinnamon sugar (for garnish) Equipment: 6 - 1 cup oven proof custard cups Directions: (Click on any image to enlarge.) 1 Preheat oven to 350F. 2 With a mixer or whisk, beat Coconut Milk, pumpkin, sugar, eggs, salt, extract and nutmeg until well mixed. Fill each custard cup with 2/3 cup of pumpkin mixture and lightly sprinkle top with cinnamon sugar. 3 Make a water bath by filling a 9" x 13" baking dish with 4 cups of hot water. Place each filled custard cup in baking dish. 4 Carefully place baking dish in oven and bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center of the custard comes out clean. Note: For an extra fancy presentation sprinkle each 'cold' custard with a teaspoon of sugar. Melt sugar with a torch or under a broiler until just golden. Watch the heating process carefully, as the sugars can turn from golden to burned very quickly. We didn't do the cinnamon - just plain sugar. I'll try the cinnamon/sugar on the ones I have left tonight. Jean and Roy getting ready to eat! Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - cjs - 07-20-2007 This is very good. What can be wrong with pumpkin???? Sharon & Bob had too much wine by then to operate the camera, I'm thinkin' Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - Half_Baked - 07-20-2007 ...and a great time was had by all. This was so much fun to read through your evening + have some super recipes to go with the pictures and commentary. Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - Mare749 - 07-21-2007 Jean, I just love your scarf in the picture. I have one just like it! Maryann Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - Half_Baked - 07-21-2007 rofl, that's funny, MaryAnn! Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - cjs - 07-21-2007 Maryann - Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - bjcotton - 07-21-2007 A funny story: I sent Lorraine a tie-dyed flour sacking dish towel and matching bar rag. She thought the dish towel was a scarf and wore it to work around her neck. Everybody just loved her new "scarf!" I later sent her a matching rayon "scarf" so she didn't have to tell the people at work it was a dish towel By-the-way, I promised never to tell anyone this story, but have told everyone I know Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - DFen911 - 07-21-2007 Ok I'm just gonna have to drag hubby up that way and have dinner with you all because it looks like you guys have the best times! What a fun event and everything looks wonderful! I've never seen a banana flower before and would probably have to travel a long way to find one. Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - Harborwitch - 07-21-2007 It was funny Billy - Jean commented that you could tell the people who know Billy - they've got tye dye all over the house! It's all over our house!! Re: Dinner with Jean & Roy! #5 - cjs - 07-22-2007 Denise, we'll hijack you one of these days when we're in the area!
