Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 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. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and salt. Stir until the sugar dissolves; remove from heat.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks and vanilla extract until blended. Gradually add the warm cream mixture while whisking continuously to avoid cooking the eggs. Stir in pumpkin puree until smooth.
  4. Pour the custard mixture into hollowed-out mini pumpkins or ramekins.
  5. Place filled pumpkins/ramekins in an oven-safe dish and add hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides. Bake for about 30 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least 2 hours. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize using a kitchen torch or broiler.
