Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare mini pumpkins by washing them, cutting off the tops, and hollowing out the insides.
  2. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream and vanilla bean paste until blended.
  4. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually add the cream mixture while whisking continuously to avoid curdling.
  5. Stir in pumpkin puree and spices until fully incorporated.
  6. Pour the custard into the hollowed mini pumpkins, filling them three-quarters full.
  7. Place filled pumpkins in a baking dish with hot water halfway up their sides and bake for about 60 minutes until set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Allow to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least two hours.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle sugar on top of each custard-filled pumpkin and caramelize using a kitchen torch.
