CHEF JOHN'S PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 Degrees.
- In a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream, milk, and pumpkin pie spice and bring it to a steaming simmer. Remove from heat.
- In a separate bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar and whisk together. Slowly add the milk mixture to the egg yolks and whisk to temper the egg yolks. Continue to add the warm milk to the egg yolks while whisking until completely combined. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree and whisk.
- Pour the mixture evenly into four ramekins. Place the ramekins inside a large shallow baking dish and fill with water about halfway. Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. The custard should be jiggly yet firm in the middle. Remove from the water bath. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for, at least, 2 hours.
- Sprinkle the custards evenly with the sugar while completely covering the custard. Use a culinary torch and torch the sugar until the sugar has dissolved and turned to a dark amber color. If you do not have a torch, turn your oven broiler on high heat and place the custards inside the oven for about 2 minutes. Be sure to stay close to the oven to keep an eye on the custards. Allow to cool and serve!
- NOTE: Don't place the custards back in the fridge after torching because the sugar will melt and the topping will no longer be crunchy.
PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE RECIPE
Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 300˚ F
- If using homemade pumpkin puree, blend it a little more before using to make it an extra fine puree.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 whole eggs and 1/2 cup sugar until well blended.
- Heat 1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream in a sauce pan, almost to a simmer; stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
- Slowly add hot cream while whisking (Adding it to quickly can result in scrambled eggs = not good!)
- Strain the cream/egg/sugar mixture through a strainer into a large measuring cup or bowl with a pouring lip.
- Whisk in 1 cup pumpkin puree and 1/4 tsp cinnamon.
- Divide the mixture into 8 (4 oz) cups and place in a large casserole baking dish or into 2 dishes if they don't fit.
- Fill the baking dish with boiling water about halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake at 300˚ F for 35-40 minutes. The creme brulee centers should barely wiggle when you move the pan.
- Cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Note: don't caramelize until ready to serve.
PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE
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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put six 1-by-5-inch creme brulee ramekins (1 cup each) in a roasting pan.
- Combine the heavy cream and vanilla pod and seeds in a medium saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, cover and allow to sit for 15 minutes. Discard the vanilla pod.
- Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks, dark brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar in a large bowl. Add the cream mixture a little at a time, stirring constantly. Transfer the egg mixture to the ramekins. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake the custard until set but still a little jiggly in the center, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 10 minutes, then remove from the water bath. Refrigerate the ramekins for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.
- To serve: Sprinkle the top of each custard with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Using a kitchen blowtorch, melt the sugar, swirling the ramekins as needed to make sure the sugar is evenly browned. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In a large heavy bottom saucepan, combine the cream, milk, one-quarter cup of the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and allspice. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add them and the bean to the saucepan. Stir at a medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and then just bring to a simmer. Remove from heat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the yolks and one-quarter cup of the sugar. Remove the bean from the cream mixture and whisk a small amount (not more than one-quarter cup) of the mixture into the egg yolks to temper them so they do not scramble. Slowly add all the cream to the yolks, whisking constantly, until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow. Put the pumpkin puree in a large bowl and gradually whisk in the cream mixture until completely incorporated and smooth.
- Strain the custard through a very fine sieve into a chilled pitcher. Pour the mixture into six four-ounce molds. Set the molds in the oven in a baking pan containing enough hot water to come one inch up the sides of the molds. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until set. To determine if the custard is done, lightly tap the sides of the custard dish; if the mixture "makes waves" then it is not done. Cool slightly on a wire rack, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight.
- Preheat the broiler just before serving. Evenly sprinkle one teaspoon of granulated sugar on top of each custard. Broil until the sugar caramelizes, anywhere from one to four minutes, depending on broiler's heat. Watch carefully so the sugar doesn't burn; it should be a golden brown. Serve in individual molds on dessert plates.

Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh pumpkin purée for the best flavor. You can make your own purée by roasting a pumpkin and then scooping out the flesh, or you can use canned pumpkin purée.
- For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of white sugar. You can also add a tablespoon of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness.
- Be careful not to overcook the custard. It should be set but still have a slight wobble in the center.
- If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can caramelize the sugar with a broiler. Just place the ramekins under the broiler for a few minutes, until the sugar is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the crème brûlée immediately, while the sugar is still warm and crispy.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin and brown sugar crème brûlée is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, pumpkin-flavored custard and its caramelized sugar topping, this dessert is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
