Pumpkin Spice Crème Brulee Recipe

 

You’ll need a medium saucepan, whisk, large and medium mixing bowls, baking sheet and 6-8 ramekins. If you have a small blow torch you can use it to brown the tops of the brulee or you can simply use the broiler in your oven.

Pumpkin spice crème brulee ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cups pumpkin puree
• 1/2 teaspoon Watkins baking vanilla
• 1 teaspoon Watkins pumpkin spice extract
• 1 teaspoon Watkins cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon Watkins ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 cup raw sugar

Pumpkin spice crème brulee instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 F. Place the 2 cups of cream in a medium saucepan. On medium heat, warm the cream until it starts to steam. Meanwhile, combine the pumpkin puree, extracts, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until combined.
2. In another mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and white sugar. Remove the cream from heat and combine with the egg mixture. Once the cream and eggs are combined, add to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until well combined
3. Place your ramekins onto a baking sheet and fill each evenly with mixture. Then fill the bottom of the sheet with water, so the ramekins are sitting in water. Place in a 350 F oven and bake for about 30 minutes.
4. Let the ramekins cool slightly and then cover and place in the fridge to chill and set. Chill for 2-3 hours.
5. Just sprinkle your sugar lightly over the top of each ramekin. If you are using a blow torch, hold it so the flame just touches the sugar and wait until the sugar bubbles and darkens. If you’re using the broiler setting of your oven, broil for a few minutes until sugar bubbles and darkens.
6. Chill the dessert for about 20 minutes (or longer if you’re not serving it right away) and serve.

This recipe makes about 6-8 desserts, depending on the size of your ramekins.

One of the tastiest things about crème brulee is the sugar crust on top. I used raw sugar to create a lovely browned top to our brulee. You can also use brown sugar, but make sure you remove all the lumps otherwise it will burn.
