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 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Tiny pinch ground cloves
  • 34 small-medium pumpkins (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Prepare mini pumpkins by cutting off the tops and hollowing them out.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream and vanilla bean paste until just below boiling.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until thick and pale.
  5. Gradually pour the warm cream into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. Stir in pumpkin puree and spices until well combined.
  6. Pour the custard into each hollowed pumpkin, filling them three-quarters full.
  7. Place filled pumpkins in a baking dish surrounded by hot water (a water bath) and bake for about 65 minutes or until set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Cool completely before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
  9. When ready to serve, sprinkle sugar on top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden brown.
