Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 5 egg yolks
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar (plus more for topping)
  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Tiny pinch ground cloves
  • 3–4 small-medium pumpkins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream and vanilla bean paste until simmering; do not boil.
  3. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.
  4. Gradually mix hot cream into egg mixture while whisking continuously. Stir in pumpkin puree and spices.
  5. Hollow out mini pumpkins and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Fill each pumpkin three-quarters full with custard.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and fill it halfway with hot water to create a water bath.
