Equipment
- 6-8 oven safe ramekins with about 4 ounce capacity each
- 9x13 pan
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
- 3 large eggs
- 2 Tbsp bourbon
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 Tbsp granulated sugar, or more if needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Fit your ramekins into a larger 9x13 pan.
- In a large bowl with a spout whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, bourbon, spice, vanilla paste and extract, and salt until smooth.
- In a small heavy bottomed saucepan heat the maple syrup until it comes to a boil. Lower the heat and let it boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the cream, adding about 1/3 at a time.
- Whisk this warm maple cream into the pumpkin mixture, whisking constantly as you pour it in.
- Fill your ramekins with the custard mixture. Pour hottest tap water into the outer pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. They will still wobble slightly when jiggled.
- Remove from the oven and let the ramekins sit in the hot water for 15 more minutes. After 15 minutes they should not be very wobbly in the center.
- Remove the cups from the pan and set on a cooling rack. When completely cooled, cover and refrigerate until completely chilled. You can leave them overnight or up to 2 days if you like.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle a light coating of sugar across the surface of the custards and use a kitchen torch to melt and caramelize the sugar into a hard coating. See post for bruleeing tips and suggestions.
- Serve immediately.
