Steps:
- Make custard:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Place three 4-inch-diameter fluted flan dishes* in each of two 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pans or place six 3/4-cup ramekins in 1 pan. Mix cream, sugar and ginger in heavy medium saucepan. Using small sharp knife, scrape seeds from vanilla bean. Add seeds and bean to saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to simmer. Cover pan, reduce heat to very low and simmer gently 10 minutes to infuse flavors. Strain into large measuring cup.
- Whisk yolks in medium bowl until well blended. Gradually whisk in hot cream mixture just to blend. Return custard to measuring cup; divide among dishes. Pour enough hot water into pans to come halfway up sides of dishes. Carefully transfer pans to oven.
- Bake custards until almost set in center when pans are gently shaken, about 30 minutes for fluted flan dishes and 35 minutes for ramekins. Using metal spatula, transfer custards in dishes to work surface; cool 30 minutes. Chill at least 3 hours and up to 2 days.
- Make Crème Brûlée:
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons sugar evenly over each custard. Working with 1 custard at a time, hold blowtorch** so that flame is 2 inches above surface. Direct flame so that sugar melts and browns, about 2 minutes.
- Refrigerate until custards are firm again but topping is still brittle, at least 2 hours but no longer than 4 hours so that topping doesn't soften. Garnish crème brûlées with fruit.
- *Four-inch-diameter fluted clear glass flan dishes are available at cookware stores and many hardware stores. They are about 2/3 inch deep and hold about 1/2 cup liquid.

SPICED PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE WITH GINGER-DUSTED CHURROS
This recipe came to The Times from Bruno Davaillon, the executive chef of the celebrated Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek restaurant in Dallas. When this combination of cold crème brulee and hot churros (deep-fried pastries dusted with cinnamon sugar) appeared on the Mansion menu, it "took off right away,'' says Mr. Davaillon. Use a star-shaped piping tool to make the churros about three to four inches long and up to a ½ inch in diameter. They can be piped out a day early and fried at the last minute before serving.

- Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. In a saucepan, combine cream, milk, vanilla bean and spices and bring to a simmer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk sugar into egg yolks until fully incorporated. Slowly whisk egg mixture into hot liquid until fully incorporated. Whisk in pumpkin puree.
- Pour the mixture into ramekins or a brulee mold. Place the ramekins in a cake or baking pan, and add enough hot water to the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake in water bath until custard is set, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the churros. Preheat oil in a fryer to 375 degrees. In a saucepan, combine water, milk, salt and sugar and bring to a boil. Whisk flour into the mixture in small batches until fully incorporated. Remove from heat and add the egg whites, mixing until the texture is completely smooth.
- Using a pastry bag fitted with a churro tip, pipe the batter into the hot oil in 2-inch strips and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towel, and roll hot churros in chopped candied ginger and granulated ginger.
- To serve the brulee: Sprinkle top with granulated sugar and caramelize with a torch. Serve with churros.

Tips for Making Ginger Crème Brûlée
- Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate the ginger finely before using. - Be careful not to overcook the custard. It should be thick and creamy, but not curdled. - When caramelizing the sugar topping, use a kitchen torch for best results. You can also use a broiler, but watch it carefully to prevent the sugar from burning. - Let the crème brûlée chill for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the custard to set properly.Conclusion
