Pumpkin crème brûlée is a rich and creamy custard infused with warm spices and pumpkin puree, topped with a crisp, caramelized sugar crust for the perfect fall dessert.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2–3 tablespoons brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place 4–6 ramekins in a deep baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream over medium-low until warm (not boiling), then remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  4. Slowly pour warm cream into the pumpkin mixture, whisking constantly to temper the eggs.
  5. Strain the custard through a fine mesh sieve for a smooth texture, then divide evenly among ramekins.
  6. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until custards are set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, sprinkle brown sugar evenly on top and caramelize with a kitchen torch or under the broiler until crisp.

Notes

  • Add a splash of bourbon to the custard for extra warmth.
  • Use chai spice blend for a twist on the traditional flavor.
  • Top with whipped cream or candied pecans for added flair.
