Pumpkin And Brown Sugar CrÈme BrÛlÉe Food

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the pumpkins in a large roasting pan, with water coming up 1/2 inch up the sides.
• Bring the cream to a simmer in a medium saucepot. Add the pumpkin puree, brown and granulated sugars, orange liquor, pumpkin spice and salt. Bring the mixture back to a simmer, whisking often. Turn off the heat.
• Place the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in 1 cup of the hot pumpkin mixture, then slowly whisk the warmed egg mixture back into the pot to fully temper. Strain the mixture, then divide it among the pumpkins, filling about three-quarters of the way to the top. Place the roasting pan in the oven and bake until the centers are set, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Carefully remove from the oven. Using a spatula, carefully remove the pumpkins from the pan and place on a sheet tray. Let cool completely at room temperature. Place in the refrigerator until completely chilled, about 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle the tops with enough turbinado sugar to cover in a thin, even layer. Torch the sugar with a kitchen torch until melted and caramelized. Place on plates and serve.

PUMPKIN AND BROWN-SUGAR CRèME BRûLéE

• Divide mixture among eight 5x1-inch ramekins. Divide ramekins between 2 large roasting pans. Add enough hot water to pans to come halfway up sides of ramekins. Bake until custards are just set in center, about 35 minutes. Chill custards until cold, about 6 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and keep chilled.
• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon raw sugar over pumpkin custard in each ramekin. Using kitchen torch, melt sugar until deep amber. (Alternatively, use broiler. Place ramekins on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle tops with brown sugar [not raw sugar] and melt directly under broiler until deep amber.) Refrigerate 15 minutes to allow sugar to harden. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 hour ahead. Keep chilled.

• Place six 6-ounce ovenproof ramekins in a roasting pan. Fill the pan with just enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
• Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly among the ramekins. Bake until the centers are just set but still jiggle a bit, 35 to 40 minutes.
• Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let cool to room temperature, 30 minutes. Refrigerate until cooled completely, at least 2 hours.
• To serve, sprinkle each ramekin with 2 teaspoons of bourbon smoked sugar. Brulee with a kitchen torch until the sugar is melted and golden brown. (You can also place the ramekins under a broiler until the sugar is golden brown, about 2 minutes.)

PUMPKIN CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 Degrees.
• In a medium saucepan, add the heavy cream, milk, and pumpkin pie spice and bring it to a steaming simmer. Remove from heat.
• In a separate bowl, add the egg yolks and sugar and whisk together. Slowly add the milk mixture to the egg yolks and whisk to temper the egg yolks. Continue to add the warm milk to the egg yolks while whisking until completely combined. Add the vanilla extract and pumpkin puree and whisk.
• Pour the mixture evenly into four ramekins. Place the ramekins inside a large shallow baking dish and fill with water about halfway. Place in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. The custard should be jiggly yet firm in the middle. Remove from the water bath. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for, at least, 2 hours.
• Sprinkle the custards evenly with the sugar while completely covering the custard. Use a culinary torch and torch the sugar until the sugar has dissolved and turned to a dark amber color. If you do not have a torch, turn your oven broiler on high heat and place the custards inside the oven for about 2 minutes. Be sure to stay close to the oven to keep an eye on the custards. Allow to cool and serve!
• NOTE: Don't place the custards back in the fridge after torching because the sugar will melt and the topping will no longer be crunchy.

Transfer the egg mixture to the ramekins. Pour enough hot water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
