Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream
5 large egg yolks
½ cup canned pumpkin puree
½ cup granulated sugar (plus extra for topping)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp ginger
Pinch of cloves
¼ cup finely chopped toasted pecans
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
In a saucepan, heat cream until steaming but not boiling.
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, and spices until smooth.
Slowly whisk warm cream into the pumpkin mixture.
Strain custard through a fine sieve and pour into 6 ramekins.
Place ramekins in a baking dish and pour in hot water halfway up the sides.
Bake 35–40 minutes until centers are just set. Cool, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over each. Torch until golden and crisp.
While still warm, sprinkle with toasted pecans and gently press to set.
