By JimnShel1

Ingredients

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 egg yolks
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
• 2 tablespoons white sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

2.Heat the cream and vanilla in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Whisk together the egg yolks, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, cloves, and pumpkin in a bowl. Slowly pour 1 cup of the cream mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continually. Then pour the entire egg mixture into the saucepan; whisk briskly for 1 minute. Pour the mixture into ramekins. Arrange ramekins on a baking sheet.

3.Bake in preheated oven until set, about 15 minutes; refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours.

4.Before serving, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sugar over the top of each creme brulee. Use a kitchen torch or your oven's broiler to caramelize the sugar. It may take 2 to 3 minutes in the broiler. Serve immediately.
