CRACKER BARREL PUMPKIN CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium sized glass bowl, add egg yolks and whisk until they are creamy. Add pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, heavy whipping cream and pumpkin pie spice and combine until all are incorporated.
• Cook custard mixture in a double boiler, and stir until custard has thickened, and a spoon remains coated when inserted into custard.
• Pour custard into either 8 custard dishes or an 8 x 8 baking dish. Bake custard until a spoon that is inserted comes out clean (30-35 minutes for baking dish, 20-25 minutes for custard dishes).
• 12 minutes into the baking process, combine the ginger snaps cookie crumbs and melted butter. Pull the custard from the oven and sprinkle the crumb mixture over the custard. When done, return custard to the oven to finish baking.
• When custard is done baking, allow to cool to room temperature.
• Just before serving, mix the whipped topping by whisking together the whipping cream, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until the whipped cream is thickened.
• Serve with whole ginger snap cookie on side of custard serving and topped with whipped topping.

RASPBERRY CUP CUSTARD WITH GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees and set a rack in the middle.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the melted butter. Divide the mixture among 4 (1-cup) custard cups and press down to form a crust on the bottom.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream and 1 tablespoon of the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Scald and remove from the heat. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yolks, the remaining tablespoon of sugar, vanilla, and rum. Whisk lightly, just to combine.
• Whisking lightly, gradually drizzle the scalded cream mixture into the egg mixture to warm it without scrambling the eggs. Strain the mixture and pour into custard cups. Place 6 raspberries in each cup, dunking them so they are coated with custard.
• Arrange the cups in a roasting pan and pour in hot water halfway up the sides. Cover the pan with foil and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the custards are set. Cool in the pan, then refrigerate, covered, up to 2 days ahead.
• If you like, sprinkle a light layer of sugar over each custard and place under a preheated broiler for about 2 to 4 minutes, watching that they don't burn. Serve immediately after glazing.
