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
  • 3–4 small-medium pumpkins (washed, tops cut off, hollowed out)

Instructions

  1. Prepare mini pumpkins by cutting off the tops and hollowing them out.
  2. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream, vanilla bean paste, sugar, salt, and pumpkin puree over medium heat until warm.
  3. Whisk egg yolks in a separate bowl; gradually add half of the warm cream mixture to temper the yolks.
  4. Return the combined mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 10-15 minutes).
  5. Strain into another bowl to remove lumps and pour into hollowed pumpkins.
  6. Place pumpkins in a baking dish filled with water halfway up their sides; bake at 325°F for 45-50 minutes until set but slightly jiggly.
  7. Chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Just before serving, sprinkle sugar on top and use a torch to caramelize.
