Ingredients

Servings

• 1 cup Pumpkin Puree
• 1 cup Heavy Cream
• 4 large Egg Yolks
• ¹⁄₂ cup Granulated Sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
• 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a saucepan, heat the pumpkin puree and heavy cream over medium heat until warmed through.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4. Slowly pour the warm pumpkin mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large measuring cup or bowl.
6. Divide the mixture evenly among four ramekins or oven-safe cups.
7. Place the ramekins in a baking dish and fill the dish with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
8. Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
9. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature.
10. Once cooled, cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
11. Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.
