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.

PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE

Categories     dessert

Time 4h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 pinches nutmeg
1 pinch ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
1/3 cup coarse sugar or raw sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the cream, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until it comes to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat and set aside to infuse at least 15 minutes. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar. Whisking constantly, gradually pour in the hot cream mixture. Whisk in the pumpkin puree. Pour the mixture into 4 ovenproof ramekins and arrange in a hot water bath. Bake in the center of the oven until almost set but still a bit soft in the center, 30 to 40 minutes. The custard should "shimmy" a bit when you shake the pan; it will firm up more as it cools. Remove from the water bath and let cool 15 minutes. Tightly cover each ramekin with plastic wrap, making sure the plastic does not touch the surface of the custard. Refrigerate at least 2 hours, and up to 24 hours.
  • When ready to serve, preheat a broiler to very hot (or fire up your kitchen torch). Uncover the chilled custards. Pour as much coarse sugar as will fit onto the top of 1 of the custards. Pour off the remaining sugar onto the next custard. Repeat until all the custards are coated. Discard any remaining sugar. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet or in a roasting pan and broil until the sugar is melted and well browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool 1 minute before serving.

Tips:

  • To make the pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until soft, then scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can caramelize the sugar topping by placing the ramekins under a preheated broiler for a few minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk in the custard base.
  • To make sure the creme brulee is set, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the creme brulee is done.
  • Serve the creme brulee immediately, or chill it for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin spice creme brulee is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for fall gatherings. With its creamy pumpkin custard filling and caramelized sugar topping, this dessert is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give pumpkin spice creme brulee a try.
