1 cans (15 oz) pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup packed brown sugar

Steps

Heat the oven to 350 F and butter a 9-inch baking dish.
Whisk the pumpkin, eggs, cream, vanilla, two-thirds cup brown sugar, pumpkin spice, and salt in a bowl.
Pour the custard into the dish and place it in a larger pan filled halfway with hot water.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the custard is set and the center barely moves.
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, then cook the remaining brown sugar and pecans for 3 minutes.
Cool the custard for 10 minutes, then top it with the pecan mixture and whipped cream.
