Moist & Smooth Thick Kabocha Squash Custard Pudding
This is a favourite pudding recipe of mine that my mother used to make. It really brings out the sweetness of the kabocha squash, it's so tasty! You can also leave out the caramel sauce and serve this as a snack to small children.
The kabocha squash I used was grown in Japan, and is very sweet and fluffy. Please make sure to use real cream made from animal products. The fibre from the kabocha squash is difficult to get rid of, so please make sure to strain the mixture twice to get a smooth pudding. The more you chill the custard puddings, the more delicious they will be. So if you can, try and leave them to chill overnight. Recipe by masa*mizu

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Caramel Sauce: Put the sugar and water in a small pan and set to medium heat. Shake the pan now and again and simmer until the colour darkens.
- 2
When it becomes this colour, tilt the pan away from you and add the boiling water. Turn off the heat and be careful not to burn yourself!
- 3
Whilst still hot, pour the caramel sauce into the cocottes and leave to chill in the fridge.
- 4
Peel the kabocha squash and cut into bitesize pieces. Heat in a microwave at 600W for 5 minutes.
- 5
When softened, put into a food processor and blend into a smooth paste. Creating a slightly dry paste with the pumpkins is ideal here.
- 6
Add the ingredients marked with ● in the order that they are shown on the ingredients list. Hold the whisk vertically and gently whisk the ingredients together.
- 7
Strain the mixture twice. It might take a bit of effort but this is a really important step.
- 8
Check that the caramel has hardened (if not your caramel will mix in with the custard pudding mixture) and if it has, pour the mixture into the cocottes.
- 9
Lightly cover the cocottes with aluminum foil and place them on a baking tray. Fill the baking tray 1 cm deep with lukewarm water and cook the custard puddings in the water bath in an oven preheated to 170°C for 35 - 40 minutes.
- 10
They will rise and come out fluffy. When they are finished cooking, a toothpick inserted into the pudding will come out clean. When you chill them they should sink down a little.
- 11
The end result I decorated this one with a glazed kabocha squash peel. I boiled the peel with just enough water to cover it, 1 tablespoon of butter and 2 teaspoons of sugar.
- 12
If you cover the cocottes with aluminium foil the top won't brown so much, so make sure to adjust the bake time according to your oven and check that they are cooked through properly.
- 13
By the way, my oven cooks things quite quickly.

For Halloween Rich and Smooth Kabocha Squash Custard Pudding For Halloween Rich and Smooth Kabocha Squash Custard Pudding
I have bought kabocha custard puddings from many shops, but could never find the nice flavour and richness that I was looking for. I created this recipe so I could have my favourite pudding anytime I want at home.Straining the kabocha purée might seem like a bother, but it is worth it to get the smooth texture! Take pieces of hot kabocha out little by little from the silicon steamer or bowl, and strain them. This will make it easier, as the rest of the kabocha will stay hot.I recommend using a 3 cm gratin dish. For 15 cm [5.9 in] round ovenproof dish. Recipe by yokoasano7

Do this process after it is completely chilled. Recipe by Mimato -

Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Custard Pudding Melt-in-Your-Mouth Pumpkin Custard Pudding
I like the idea of sweet carrots. I borrowed another Cookpad user's idea to create my melt-in-your-mouth pumpkin custard pudding.Wrap the kabocha cut into bite sizes with kitchen foil and cook in a rice cooker at the same time you cook your rice. The kabocha tastes very sweet after cooked this way.If you use this naturally sweet kabocha you don't need so much sugar. If you really want to taste the kabocha's natural sweetness do not add any sugar when you make custard pudding mixture. The caramel sauce makes enough sweetness in the finished custard pudding.

Melting and Smooth Easy Custard Pudding Melting and Smooth Easy Custard Pudding
Whenever I tried making pudding, it always tasted like chawanmushi (steamed savory custard) or omelets. So, I asked my husband to help me put a pudding recipe together. Because I love crème brûlée, I made it with egg yolk only, and adjusted the amount of milk. I've finally managed to put this together after many tries.Remove the scum of the egg whites when cracking in the egg yolk. This make it easier for the mixture to strain. Make sure the heat is on really low. Use granulated sugar for the sugar. Add 2 tablespoons if you like it fairly sweet. Recipe by Kichiri-monja -

Creamy Rich Vanilla Custard Pudding Creamy Rich Vanilla Custard Pudding
I found some really cute pudding containers, so I made a rich, creamy pudding that matches them.Watch the heat level when you steam the puddings. If the heat is too high, the puddings will develop air bubbles and lose their creamy, smooth texture. In addition, the bottoms and sides will become overcooked and leathery. Be sure to steam them over very low heat! The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the containers you're using, so please adjust while observing how the puddings are cooking. For three 90 ml containers worth. Recipe by Pu-kosan -
