Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken into pieces
- 10 cloves
- 1 3-inch piece ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 6 egg yolks
- 1/3 cup sugar, plus more for topping
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup canned pumpkin
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F.
- Heat cream, cinnamon stick, cloves and ginger in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook until bubbles just begin to form along the edges, then turn off heat. Steep for 15- 20 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Combine egg yolks, sugar and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until lightened. Stir in pumpkin and vanilla. Strain cooled cream through a fine mesh sieve into a pumpkin mixture. Mix well.
- Bring about 3 cups of water to a boil. Place five 6-oz shallow ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet; divide the custard into the ramekins. Fill the baking sheet with boiling water halfway up the sides of the ramekins and carefully transfer to the oven. Bake until the custards are just set, about 35- 45 minutes (time will vary depending on how warm your cream was). Remove from the water bath and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, or up to 2 days.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the top of each custard. Caramelize the sugar with a blow torch or under a gas broiler. Serve within an hour (any longer and the crunchy sugar will start to dissolve).
