preview

×Jump to RecipePumpkin Creme Brûlée is a wonderful way to enjoy pumpkins when they are in season and it tastes like the custard of a pumpkin pie but with the bonus of that delicious hard sugar creme brûlée crust. This is such an easy pumpkin creme brûlée recipe and I will walk you through all of the steps to make this easy and delicious Fall and Winter dessert.I love all types of Fall desserts and drinks and this pumpkin creme brulee is one of my favorites. Every Fall this pumpkin creme brulee, mulled apple cider and my spiced pear martini are on rotation because of the Fall pumpkin spice vibes they have.If you have never made creme brûlée before, it is actually a lot easier than you may think. The only part of this pumpkin creme brûlée recipe that requires you to do something beyond mixing is when you make a water bath.This is just pouring hot water into a large roasting pan that your ramekins are sitting in. I will walk you through how to do that and I promise it is really easy.The base of this easy pumpkin creme brûlée is my tried and true recipe for vanilla creme brûlée. I have adjusted the sugar only a little bit so if you are interested in a classic vanilla version just omit the pumpkin.If you want to make this pumpkin custard even prettier, you can make sugared cranberries to garnish the tops. I like to do this when I make these for the holidays.When choosing your ingredients for this pumpkin brulee recipe, make sure you use the best quality you can find, especially with the eggs. Since there are a lot of egg yolks in this recipe, the higher the quality, the better the recipe will taste.The same holds true for the type of vanilla extract you use. Try to find a good quality vanilla extract and do not use imitation vanilla.Note: There are two types of sugar in this recipe. One for the custard and the other for the sugar topping.Demerara sugar is used for the crust topping. After years of having issues getting a nice crust on my creme brûlée when using superfine sugar, I decided to switch to demerara which is a more raw form of sugar.The demerara sugar always produces a nice beautiful crust in seconds. So, if you have struggled with making a crust on your creme brûlée in the past, this sugar will fix that.There are several ways to know when your pumpkin creme brulee is done baking. You can use one of these methods or all:If you have overcooked your creme brulee, the edges will look like crust and not the same as the center of the creme brulee. Remember that creme brulee firms up with the chilling time so you want the entire pumpkin custard to be jiggly when you take it out of the oven.The size and shape of your ramekins are going to determine the baking time of your creme brulee. This recipe uses a slightly deeper ramekin that is circular in shape.Another common ramekin for creme brulee is a shallow oval-shaped ramekin. If you do decide to use this type of ramekin, make sure to adjust the baking time and use the jiggle test for determining doneness.How to make creme brûlée without a torch If you do not have a creme brûlée torch, you can easily use a long grill lighter and use the flame of the lighter to make contact with the sugar to burn it into a crust.Alternatively, you can use the broiler method where you place the creme brûlée onto a sheet pan and place it under a broiler on high until the sugar starts to melt and brown. Watch them carefully when doing this so they do not burn. Is creme brulee eaten hot or cold? Creme brulee is chilled until the sugar top is torched. When the brulee portion is done, the creme brulee will be at room temperature. Can you freeze creme brulee? Technically you can but it is not advised. Freezing any type of dairy will cause the cream to separate which affects the texture of the creme brulee.If you love this pumpkin creme brulee recipe, you may also like these:Print Recipefrom votesTried the Recipe?
