Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 6 large egg yolks (plain Silken Tofu is amazing substitute if you are vegan)
- 1 teaspoon organic cinnamon
- 1/2 cup organic dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup organic light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup organic sugar cane juice
- 1 teaspoon organic pure vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a medium saucepan, combine the heavy whipping cream, pumpkin puree, organic cinnamon, and organic pure vanilla extract. Heat over medium heat until the mixture is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
3. Whisk the Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and organic dark brown sugar, organic light brown sugar, and organic sugar cane juice until well combined and slightly thickened.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
5. Strain the Mixture: Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl to ensure a smooth texture.
6. Fill Ramekins: Divide the custard evenly among six ramekins. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
7. Bake: Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custards are set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
8. Cool: Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
9. Caramelize the Sugar: Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of organic sugar cane juice over the top of each custard. Using a handheld torch, carefully caramelize the sugar until it forms a crispy, golden crust.
10. Serve: Allow the brûlée to sit for a minute before serving. Enjoy your Pumpkin Crème Brûlée with a cup of coffee or tea for a perfect fall dessert.
