Delicious Pumpkin Spice Crème Brûlée

This crème brûlée features a rich pumpkin custard infused with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, topped with a perfectly caramelized sugar crust. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and chill, serving 4 people.

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar for topping

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Custard: In a saucepan, combine the heavy cream, pumpkin puree, 3/4 cup sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Heat over medium heat until just simmering, stirring frequently.
3. Mix Egg Yolks: In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth. Gradually add the warm cream mixture to the yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs.
4. Bake: Pour the custard mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
5. Chill: Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
6. Caramelize the Sugar: Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of granulated sugar on top of each custard. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy crust. Alternatively, place under a broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
7. Serve: Allow the crème brûlée to sit for a minute before serving. Enjoy your delicious pumpkin spice treat!
