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 oven to 325°F (163°C). If using mini pumpkins, cut off tops and scoop out insides.
  2. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and half of the sugar until warm but not boiling.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, vanilla extract, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Gradually add warm cream while whisking to temper eggs.
  4. Pour mixture into mini pumpkins or ramekins placed in a baking dish filled with hot water halfway up their sides.
  5. Bake for about 30 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool and refrigerate for at least two hours.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize using a torch or broiler until golden brown.
