Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1 cup pureed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • pumpkin pie spice
  • pinch of salt

Toppings

  • 2-4 tbsp white granulated sugar (for brulee topping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 330°F 
  • Place six 6-ounce ramekins in a deep baking dish or roasting pan. This will be your water bath, ensuring even baking.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pureed pumpkin, egg yolks, brown sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally.
  • Slowly pour the hot cream into the pumpkin mixture, whisk constantly. This will prevent them from curdling.
  • Carefully pour the pumpkin custard mixture into the prepared ramekins, distributing it evenly.
  • Place the baking dish with the filled ramekins into the preheated oven.
  • Carefully add hot water to the baking dish, creating a water bath that reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. This gentle cooking method helps prevent cracking and ensures a smooth texture.
  • Bake the creme brulees in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until the custard is set around the edges but jiggly in the center.
  • Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool at room temperature.
  • Once cooled, cover each ramekin with saran wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the custard to set.
  • Just before serving, sprinkle a thin, even layer of granulated sugar over the surface of each custard.
  • Caramelize the sugar using a potable kitchen torch or place the ramekins under a broiler until the sugar is bubbly and brown. Observe to avoid burning.
  • Let the brûléed sugar cool and harden for a minute or two.
  • Serve your Pumpkin Creme Brulee and enjoy
