Sweet Pumpkin Brulee Recipe

Directions:

1. In a bowl, use a fork to mix the egg yolks with the maple syrup and brown sugar.
2. Pour buttermilk and heavy cream into a saucepan; bring almost to a boil.
3. Gradually mix the hot milk into the egg yolk mixture; strain the custard back into the saucepan and stir in the pumpkin puree.
4. Place six 6-ounce ramekins in a roasting pan; pour the custard into the dishes, then pour warm water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the dishes.
5. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 25-30 minutes until the desserts are just set with a slight softness at the center.
6. Leave the dishes to cool in the water, then lift them out, place them on a tray, and chill in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
7. About 20-30 minutes before serving, sprinkle the tops of the desserts with the remaining brown sugar and caramelize with a blowtorch.
8. Leave at room temperature until ready to eat.
