Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Mini Pumpkins (optional – you can also just use ramekins)
  • 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 your oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, sugar, egg yolks, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until smooth.
  3. If using mini pumpkins, hollow them out before filling with the custard mixture; otherwise, use ramekins. Fill each vessel about three-quarters full.
  4. Place filled vessels in a baking dish and add hot water until halfway up the sides. Bake for about 30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
  5. Allow to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least two hours.
  6. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize using a kitchen torch or broil briefly in the oven.
