Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Pumpkin Crème Brûlée
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Combine 2 cups of heavy cream with 1 cup of pumpkin puree in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until it simmers. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks, ½ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon salt until smooth.
- Slowly pour the warm pumpkin cream into the egg yolk mixture while whisking constantly until fully combined.
- Strain the custard mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
- Divide the custard mixture among six ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Place ramekins in a baking dish and fill with hot water until halfway up the sides.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes in the preheated oven until edges are set and centers are slightly jiggly.
- Cool ramekins at room temperature for 30 minutes, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar over each custard and caramelize with a kitchen torch.
- Allow the caramelized sugar to harden for a minute, then serve your Pumpkin Crème Brûlée.
