Ingredients

Scale
  • Mini pumpkins or 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 (163°C).
  2. Prepare mini pumpkins by cutting off the tops and scooping out seeds, or arrange ramekins in a baking dish.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until well combined. Gradually add heavy cream while whisking continuously. Stir in vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, and salt until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into each mini pumpkin or ramekin until nearly full. Create a water bath by pouring hot water into the baking dish around them.
  5. Bake for about 30 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours.
  6. To serve, sprinkle granulated sugar on top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden brown.
