Steamed Pumpkin Custard

I have been craving for pumpkin since I saw some blogs posted their drooling Pumpkin Bakes and Desserts. ;p


When I saw this small pumpkin at the vegetable store, I didn't hesitate and quickly buy it. I intended to make something simple which I can enjoy the pumpkin itself. So here I made this 'Steamed Pumpkin Custard'.


I didn't use any particular recipe. I mainly mixed 1 egg with some milk (I preferred a firm custard so I used less milk.), some sugar to taste, few drops of vanilla essence and dash of cinnamon powder. Strain and pour it into the cavity of the pumpkin. Steam for 15mins at medium-low heat.


Unfortunately, I forgotten to lower the fire during steaming (attending to my mischievous boys) as a result the surface appeared rough, the cap was too soft and broke into two pieces. :( Although it didn't turn out perfect but it taste great. Yum...yum... :)
