Pumpkin Polenta Custard With Maple Whipped Cream

[sickchick]

I came up with this 2 days ago! I ate the whole thing too HAHA

Pumpkin Polenta Custard with Maple Whipped Cream

2 large organic eggs

3/4 c light brown sugar

pinch salt

1 ts ground cinnamon

1/2 ts ground ginga

pinch nutmeg

1 ts rum extract

1 ts vanilla extract

1 can pumpkin puree

1 can evaporated milk

3/4 c bob's red mill polenta

1 1/2 c water

heavy cream

maple syrup

Preheat oven to 425F.

Cook off polenta first, then set aside to cool. Keep lid on pan.

In a large mixing bowl (or your kitchenaid) add eggs, vanilla & rum extracts, spices, brown sugar and evaporated milk. Whisk together well. Gradually whisk in pumpkin puree. Whisk until well blended. Grab polenta and stir in. Be careful to break apart any lumps.

Spray your favorite baking dish, I used my corning ware 2.5 qt. I used light olive oil nonstick spray you can use butter if you prefer. Pour pumpkin-polenta mixture into baking dish, then bake @ 425F for 15 minutes. Then turn heat down to 350F and continue baking for 45-55 additional minutes or until the center is set.

I think this should be served warm. With maple whipped cream. MMM

Let me know what you think if you try it.

Yum this sounds really good. I love pumpkin too! Do you think it would work with almond milk in place of the evaporated milk?

I am such a pumpkin fanatic that I'm surprised my skin isn't orange from eating so much of it. And I'm a firm believer it's a treat for year round what with pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin ice cream, and now pumpkin polenta custard - I'll try that very soon!

ElenaDragon I think Almond Milk would be wonderful and even soymilk It would be 12 oz.

Juliet I love pumpkin pankcakes and pumpkin pie pumpkin muffins MMM

I am glad it's good for you! HAHAHA

[confusedks]

Do you have any good recipes for pumpkin muffins??? MMM!!!

[sickchick]

Consider me on it!

[Juliet]

I actually made some great pumpkin muffins with coconut & pecans, but I can't find the recipe I created. As soon as I do, I'll post it.

Or, if not, I'll create a new one probably over the weekend - it's been a few days since I finished off my homemade pumpkin praline ice cream
