A rich, creamy crème caramel infused with warm pumpkin spice flavors, perfect for celebrating autumn and impressing guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 2 tablespoons water (for caramel)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Bring a kettle of water to a boil for the water bath.
  2. Make the caramel: In a medium saucepan, add 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water. Heat over medium heat, swirling gently until the sugar dissolves and turns a deep amber color (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Immediately pour the caramel into the bottoms of your ramekins, tilting them slightly to coat the bottom evenly. Set aside to cool and harden.
  4. Prepare the custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together heavy cream, whole milk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and pumpkin spice blend. Combine this mixture with the pumpkin cream mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.
  6. Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps (optional).
  7. Carefully pour the custard mixture into the prepared ramekins over the hardened caramel.
  8. Place the ramekins in a large baking dish. Add the hot water to the dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
  9. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  10. Remove the ramekins from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  11. To serve, run a knife around the edges of the ramekin, invert onto a plate, and gently lift. The caramel will cascade over the custard.

Notes

[‘Swirl the pan gently when making caramel to avoid sugar crystals.’, ‘Strain the custard for a silky texture.’, ‘Do not overbake; the custard should still jiggle slightly in the center.’, ‘Use room temperature eggs for better blending.’]
