Pumpkin Pot De Creme image

This gourmet dessert is a wonderful alternative to the Thanksgiving standard of pumpkin pie. I like to offer 2 desserts for that day. This one can be made the day before, freeing up valuable time on Thanksgiving Day for other preparations. These melt in your mouth.

Time 9h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups whipping cream
¼ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ vanilla bean, split and scraped
1 teaspoon dark rum
5 egg yolks
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ cup chopped toasted pecans
¼ cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Combine the whipping cream, 1/4 cup sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, pumpkin puree, and the vanilla bean pod and seeds in a saucepan over medium-low heat; bring to a simmer; stir in the rum. Remove from the heat cover and stand 15 minutes.
  • Beat together the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the cream mixture. Pour the egg yolk mixture into the saucepan with the cream mixture to make a custard; stir; simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Arrange 6 ramekins in a shallow baking dish. Pour the custard evenly into the ramekins. Pour boiling water into the baking dish to half-way up the sides of the ramekins. Loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the custard is nearly set with a dime-sized circle of jiggly liquid remaining in the center of each ramekin, 25 to 40 minutes. Allow to sit, loosely covered with aluminum foil, another 30 minutes.
  • Cover each ramekin with plastic wrap; chill in refrigerator overnight. Top each custard with pecans and maple syrup to serve.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pot de creme didn't set properly. It was still runny after hours in the refrigerator.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pot de creme didn't turn out at all. It was more like a pumpkin soup.

This recipe was a disaster! The pot de creme turned out lumpy and curdled.
