Ingredients

• 3 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ¼ cup Sugar In The Raw®
• ¼ cup Stevia In The Raw®
• 1 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
• 2 tablespoons Sugar In The Raw®, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk to combine yolks, sugar, and stevia.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, bring cream to a simmer. Whisk into yolk mixture. Whisk in pumpkin, vanilla, and spices.

Step 4

Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large measuring cup.

Step 5

Divide mixture between six 6-ounce ramekins set in a roasting pan or other deep baking dish. Place pan in oven and pour in scalding hot water so it comes halfway up sides of dishes.

Step 6

Bake until custards are set but jiggle slightly in the center, about 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.

Step 7

Before serving, sprinkle custards with a layer of sugar and use a propane torch or broiler to caramelize sugar.
