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.

PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place four (6-ounce) gratin dishes or ramekins in a high-rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan big enough to hold them.
• In a small saucepan, stir together the cream, milk, sugar, pumpkin purée, spices, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is barely steaming, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks.
• Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking constantly, then slowly add the remaining cream mixture and stir to fully combine. Mix in the espresso powder.
• Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl.
• Divide the mixture among the gratin dishes or ramekins. Place the baking sheet in the oven and carefully pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins (see Notes).
• Bake the custards for 20 to 25 minutes (if using gratin dishes) or 30-35 minutes (if using ramekins). The edges of the custards should be just set but the centers should still jiggle when the pan is gently shaken.
• Transfer the ramekins to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Loosely cover the ramekins and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Just before serving, sprinkle the top of each crème brûlée with an even layer of sugar (about 1 1/2 teaspoons per ramekin). Working with one ramekin at a time and using a kitchen blowtorch, move the flame continuously in small circles over the surface until the sugar melts and lightly browns. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°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.
• Strain mixture into a large glass measuring cup (the measuring cup makes it easier to pour into the ramekins without mess).
• 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.(Center Temp will be between 161F-168F).
• 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. 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.
• Fire up your kitchen torch and melt/brown the sugar. (You can do this under a broiler, but I feel it heats up the brulee too much. You want the top crisp but the brulee cold and that result is difficult with a broiler. If you love brulees like I do--buy a torch!).
• Let cool 1 minute before serving.
