Ingredients:

• 1 can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup half-and-half
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Custard Mixture:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the solid-pack pumpkin, eggs, half-and-half, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
   • Stir the ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.

2. Assemble the Custard:

   • Grease four 10 oz. custard dishes or ramekins.
   • Pour the pumpkin custard mixture evenly into each dish, filling them about three-quarters full.

3. Bake the Custard:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the filled custard dishes in a 13×9 inch baking pan.
   • Carefully pour hot water into the baking pan, surrounding the custard dishes to a depth of about 1 inch.
   • Bake the custards, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

4. Prepare the Topping:

   • In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining brown sugar, chopped pecans, and melted butter until well combined.

5. Add the Topping:

   • After the initial baking time, remove the custards from the oven.
   • Sprinkle the prepared brown sugar-pecan mixture evenly over the top of each custard.

6. Continue Baking:

   • Return the custards to the oven.
   • Bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of a custard comes out clean.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the custards from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
   • Serve the warm pumpkin custards topped with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for an extra burst of flavor.
