• In a medium bowl, whisk to combine pumpkin, egg yolks, and milk. Whisk until smooth, then pour into sauce pan and whisk to combine with sugar mixture.
• Place saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is hot and small bubbles are starting to form around the edges. Remove from heat, transfer to a large bowl, and cool to room temperature.
