Time 6h50m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 baby pumpkins (or 10 if slightly larger), tops removed and discarded and insides scooped out
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons orange liquor
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large egg yolks
1/2 cup turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Place the pumpkins in a large roasting pan, with water coming up 1/2 inch up the sides.
  • Bring the cream to a simmer in a medium saucepot. Add the pumpkin puree, brown and granulated sugars, orange liquor, pumpkin spice and salt. Bring the mixture back to a simmer, whisking often. Turn off the heat.
  • Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the hot pumpkin mixture, then slowly whisk the warmed egg mixture back into the pot to fully temper. Strain the mixture, then divide it among the pumpkins, filling about three-quarters of the way to the top. Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake until the centers are set, 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Carefully remove from the oven. Using a spatula, carefully remove the pumpkins from the pan and place on a sheet tray. Let cool completely at room temperature. Place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, about 4 hours.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle the tops with enough turbinado sugar to cover in a thin, even layer. Torch the sugar with a kitchen torch until melted and caramelized. Place on plates and serve.

Time 7h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Pecan and Butter Cracker Crust, recipe follows
3 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped and pod reserved
8 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup whole milk
2 cups canned pumpkin puree
Hot water
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
32 butter crackers (recommended: Ritz crackers)
1/2 cup pecans
5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted, plus more if needed
2 to 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Divide the crust into 8 (6-ounce) custard cups. Put them into a 9 by 13-inch baking dish or roasting pan and blind bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
  • In a medium sauce pot, over medium-high heat, add 2 cups of the cream, the spices, the vanilla seeds and the vanilla bean pod. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the yolks with the sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and the sugar is dissolved.
  • Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of cream and the 1/2 cup of milk to the cream and spice mixture. Slowly incorporate the yolk and sugar mixture, then strain through a medium-size sieve. Whisk in the pumpkin puree.
  • Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly into the custard cups lined with the crust.* Add the hot water into the baking dish or roasting pan to create a hot bath and put the pan into the oven. Bake until the custard is starting to set, yet still a little wiggly in the middle, about 35 to 45 minutes. Remove the brulee from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
  • Lightly sprinkle each custard with the turbinado sugar. Heat the sugar with a butane torch until caramelized. To get a thick caramelized sugar crust, repeat this, with just a light sprinkling each time. Allow to cool and serve.
  • *Guy's Tip: if you happen to have any leftover creme brulee mixture, pour it into a baking dish and put it into another roasting pan. Add hot water about halfway up the sides of the dish and bake until custard is starting to set, yet still a little wiggly in the middle, about 35 to 45 minutes. Remove and cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours. Refer to recipe for caramelizing sugar on top after it has cooled completely.
  • In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade, pulse the crackers and pecans until finely ground, about 6 to 10 (3-second) pulses. Add the melted butter and brown sugar and pulse to combine. Press into the bottom of a springform pan, baking dish, or 8 (6-ounce) ramekins.

CHEF JOHN'S PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE



Chef John's Pumpkin Creme Brulee image

This is a great seasonal twist on the restaurant classic. The texture is actually closer to a pudding than a classic creme Brulee, and of course, the star of the dish is the crisp sugar top. This is great for your busy holiday schedule since you can make them the day before and then finish the sugar torching before you serve.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Flaky Pie Crust Dough
1 15-ounce can pure pumpkin
3/4 cup plus 4 tablespoons sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold overhang under and crimp decoratively. Pierce dough all over with fork. Freeze 15 minutes. Line crust with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until sides are set, about 12 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Whisk pumpkin and 3/4 cup sugar in large bowl to blend. Whisk in eggs, then cream, spices, and salt. Pour filling into warm crust. Bake pie until filling is set in center, about 50 minutes. Transfer pie to rack; cool 30 minutes. Chill until cold, at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Preheat broiler. Sprinkle pie evenly with 2 tablespoons sugar. Broil until sugar melts and begins to caramelize, turning pie for even browning, about 1 minute. Let pie stand until topping hardens, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle pie again with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Broil again until sugar browns, about 1 minute. Refrigerate pie until topping hardens, about 30 minutes. Serve or keep refrigerated no more than 2 hours longer.

Tips:

  • Use ripe pumpkins. This will ensure your pumpkin puree is flavorful and smooth.
  • Make your own pumpkin puree. It's easy to do and tastes much better than the canned stuff.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie in a water bath. This will help prevent the crust from cracking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling set and the flavors meld together.
  • Top the pie with whipped cream or ice cream for an extra special treat.

Conclusion:

With its creamy pumpkin filling, crunchy Butterfinger pieces, and decadent brûléed sugar topping, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any other special occasion, this pie is sure to become a new family favorite.
