Unreal. Can it get any better than pumpkin and more Canadian than maple? The best part? Super easy – Mix:

8 egg yolks
2 cups whipping cream
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon

Pour into eight 6 oz ramekins / custard cups.Bake in a water bath at 350 until edges are set and center still jiggles (about 35 minutes)
Remove from water and refrigerate until cold – about 2 hours.
Then top with sugar, toast it (with your brand new heat gun) and oh that baby is gooooood!

Mrs. B’s advice about the heat gun was brilliant! I think creme brulee is the ultimate fancy-shmancy dessert.

I adore creme brulee and yes have made it several times both at home and in a commercial situation. In the commercial kitchens I’ve worked it, we use a blow torch – it has a blue tank, I think it’s similar to what welders use – and I found one for $14 at Canadian Tire once. Since I’ve moved and couldn’t take it with me, I haven’t replaced it, but that’s what I’d get the next time. In a professional kitchen, we use blow torches for all kinds of things, and the little brulee torches just aren’t practical because they run out of gas so quickly and they are too expensive.

Your creme brulee looks gorgeous!!
