Pumpkin Pie Brûlée

part of a Serious ThanksgivingWhip out the butane torch, kids. This Pumpkin Pie Brûlée, also from friend Brendan Cox of D.C.'s Circle Bistro, is super simple and just needs that hand-held ignition and flame tip (also good for destroying small patches of weeds and for high-tech lightage of birthday candles). Grandma Mildred may call it untraditional, but again, we say: Bring on the pyromaniac urges.

Pumpkin Pie Brûlée

- serves 10 -

Ingredients

10 ounces pumpkin puree
3 cups heavy cream
1 cup milk
12 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar and some for dusting
1 tablespoon ground cardamom

Procedure

Combine eggs, cream, milk, pumpkin, sugar and cardamom and place in ten 4-ounce ramekins. Bake in a water bath for 35-42 minutes at 300 degrees, then let them (and yourself if you want) chill. Dust tops with sugar and torch the tops in a broiler or of course with a butane torch. Serve.

2 of my favorite desserts in 1. ZOMG.

This sounds soooo good :)

Why do I feel myself going into a "Homer Simpson-like glazed eyes, drooling mouth donut induced coma?"

Pumpkin creme bruleeeeeeeeeeee. drool

Thank you! This recipe appeared just in time! We have a Thanksgiving guest who requires gluten free dishes so this will be perfect dessert to not make her feel "left out!" while we eat pumpkin pie!

This pumpkin brulee sounds incredible and not too difficult to produce.
Yum, yum, yum!

omg, this sounds amazing.

Has anyone made this yet? All the recipes I've seen for creme brulee require the cream to be heated first - will this set up?

this is for real

this would look amazing in an actual little pumpkin.

I've made pumpkin creme brulee and to have PIE CRUST included - adds another dimension of yumminess.

Yes, please! Went out and bought a butane torch just for this recipe. So much better than standard pumpkin pie.

sounds yum, but no photo?

About time I broke away from the pumpkin cheesecake.
It is a new day!

sounds tasty--and easy. And a good excuse to buy a kitchen torch.

I could eat nothing but pumpkin pie for the rest of my life and be happy. But now that you mention brulee...

Making dessert is not my forte. I always feel like I should be wearing a 50's housewife apron. But using a blow torch ups the testostorone level back up.
