Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (plus more for topping)
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare the mini pumpkins by washing them, cutting off the tops, and hollowing out the insides.
  3. In a saucepan, warm the heavy cream and vanilla bean paste over low heat.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, salt, and spices until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix in the warm cream while whisking continuously to prevent scrambling the eggs.
  6. Fill each pumpkin with the custard mixture about three-quarters full.
  7. Place filled pumpkins in a baking dish and add hot water halfway up their sides. Bake for about 65 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool at room temperature before chilling in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and caramelize with a kitchen torch until golden brown.
