PUMPKIN TARTLETS WITH BRULEED MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor until mixed. Drizzle in the butter and 1/4 cup water and pulse until all the flour is moistened and the mixture looks crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a surface and knead it with your hands until it just comes together. Divide the mixture evenly into 12 balls. Put 1 dough ball into each cup in a nonstick muffin pan, then press the dough into the bottoms and up the sides of the cups, trying to keep the thickness as even as possible. Refrigerate the muffin pan until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes.
• For the filling: Whisk the pumpkin puree, half-and-half, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, allspice and egg together in a large bowl until smooth.
• Fill the dough-lined muffin cups about two-thirds full with the pumpkin puree, then bake until the crust is light golden brown and the custard is set, about 35 minutes. Cool the tartlets in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully remove each tartlet with an offset spatula. Finish cooling the tartlets completely on a rack.

PUMPKIN MARSHMALLOWS

Steps:

• Line a 9x13 inch pan with plastic wrap and spray it lightly and uniformly with cooking spray. Set aside. Pour the 1/2 cup cold water into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the gelatin on top; set aside for 10 minutes.
• Combine the white sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Do not stir once the sugar syrup begins to boil. Heat to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball. Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well.
• Attach the mixing bowl to the stand mixer with the wire whip attachment and start the mixer on low speed. Carefully pour the boiling sugar syrup in a steady stream down the side of the mixing bowl. Increase the mixer to medium-high speed and add the salt. Mix until stiff, shiny, and white in color, about 5 to 12 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally using a rubber spatula.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the pumpkin mixture until combined. Add food coloring, if desired, for a deeper orange color. Return the bowl to the mixer and beat on medium-high speed about 3 minutes longer. Dip a spatula into the marshmallow mixture: the mixture should form a more-or-less continuous ribbon off the spatula into the bowl.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan so that it is an even depth. Let the mixture set at room temperature for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Sift the cocoa powder, cornstarch, and confectioners' sugar into a pie plate. When the marshmallows have set, turn them onto a work surface and cut them into squares or shapes as desired. Roll each marshmallow in the cocoa mixture to coat all sides (reserve the cocoa mixture for re-dredging if needed). Marshmallows are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container (unrefrigerated) for about a week or in the freezer for a month. If you store the marshmallows, re-roll them in the cocoa mixture before serving.
