Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
• 4 ounce Semi-sweet Chocolate
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 1 cup Milk
• ¹⁄₂ cup Sugar
• 4 Egg Yolks
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• ¹⁄₂ cup Whipped Cream
• For garnish Chocolate Shavings

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream, milk, and pumpkin puree over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
4. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly (about 5 minutes).
6. Remove from heat and add the chopped semi-sweet chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
7. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
8. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins or small jars.
9. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
10. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly.
11. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
12. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
13. Before serving, top each pot de creme with a dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings.
14. Enjoy!
