Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • 5 egg yolks

  • ⅔ cup pumpkin puree
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Tiny pinch ground cloves
  • 34 small-medium pumpkins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

  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.
