Description

Elevate your fall dessert game with this rich, silky Pumpkin Spice Crème Brûlée. Each spoonful delivers creamy pumpkin custard infused with warming spices, all hidden beneath a crackling sugar crust. The twist? A sprinkle of toasted pecans adds a nutty crunch to every bite—classic French elegance meets cozy autumn comfort.


Ingredients

Scale

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.
