This classic french dessert
is temporarily an autumn Swiftie
Recipe
-
Prep Time: 15 min
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sugar + 3 tbsp
- 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 vanilla bean, pierced, beans scraped out
- 3 egg yolks
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- This recipe is incredibly easy and versatile! You could easily add some allspice, some black pepper or some savory spices like sage. Feel free to get creative with the spices!
- When pouring your warm creme into your egg yolks, it’s important to pour slowly and whisk constantly. This is called tempering, and we temper the eggs (whisk! whisk!) so that the eggs dont scramble from the warm creme.
- When torching your sugar, I use the highest setting and get my torch pretty close to the sugar. After a few failed attempts at torching, I realized you have to get pretty darn close to the sugar to burn it and you will actually see flames. Thats ok! Keep going, even if you see a little smoke.You can buy a torch off amazon, and dont forget to buy the butane as well!
