Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (plus more for topping)
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Tiny pinch ground cloves
  • 34 small-medium pumpkins (washed, tops cut off, hollowed out)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare mini pumpkins by cutting off the tops and hollowing them out.
  2. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and vanilla bean paste until warm. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until smooth; gradually add warm cream while whisking.
  3. Stir in pumpkin puree and spices until well combined.
  4. Pour custard into hollowed pumpkins (fill three-quarters full) and place on a baking sheet.
  5. Pour hot water into the baking pan for a water bath. Bake for about 65 minutes or until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Cool at room temperature before chilling in the fridge for at least four hours or overnight.
  7. When ready to serve, sprinkle sugar on top and use a kitchen torch to caramelize until golden brown.
