Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups Heavy Cream
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar (plus extra for topping)
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). If using mini pumpkins, cut tops off and scoop out seeds.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar until combined.
  3. Heat heavy cream, pumpkin puree, spices, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan until hot but not boiling.
  4. Gradually whisk the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture to avoid curdling.
  5. Pour custard into prepared vessels and place them in a baking dish filled with water halfway up the sides.
  6. Bake for about 30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  7. Chill at room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, top with granulated sugar and use a kitchen torch or broiler to caramelize sugar.
