Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (plus more for topping)
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Tiny pinch ground cloves
  • 3–4 small-medium pumpkins (washed, tops cut off, hollowed out)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare mini pumpkins by cutting off their tops and hollowing them out.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream and vanilla bean paste until just hot. In a separate bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, salt, and spices until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in the warm cream mixture to the egg yolk blend.
  4. Pour the custard into each hollowed pumpkin until filled three-quarters full. Place them in a baking dish filled with hot water to create a water bath.
  5. Bake for about 65 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
  6. Just before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize using a kitchen torch.
