10. - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
11. - 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
12. - 8 oz pumpkin puree
13. - Candied pumpkin pieces for garnish
15. #### Equipment:
16. - Saucepan
17. - Small bowls or ramekins (for creme brûlée)
18. - Mixing bowl
19. - Whisk
20. - Microplane grater (for sugar)
22. ### Step-by-Step Instructions:
24. #### 1. Prepare the Pumpkin Puree
25. - If you're using fresh pumpkin, roast it first by cutting it into cubes and baking at 400°F for about 30 minutes.
26. - Once cooled, scoop out the flesh and mash it to form a smooth puree.
28. #### 2. Make the Creme Brûlée Base
29. 1. **Combine Ingredients**: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and milk until almost boiling.
30. 2. **Add Yolks and Sugar**: Remove from heat and slowly whisk in egg yolks and half of the sugar (3/8 cup) to prevent scrambling.
31. 3. **Infuse Flavor**: Add vanilla extract and cardamom; stir well.
32. 4. **Strain Mixture**: Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into another bowl to remove any lumps.
34. #### 3. Assemble the Parfait
35. 1. **Layer Preparation**: Divide the creme brûlée base evenly among small ramekins or parfait glasses.
36. 2. **Top with Pumpkin Puree**: Spoon an equal amount of pumpkin puree over each layer.
37. 3. **Repeat Layers**: Pour a second layer of creme brûlée over the pumpkin, creating distinct layers.
39. #### 4. Bake and Cool
40. 1. **Bake**: Place ramekins in a larger baking dish filled with hot water (bain-marie) and bake at 325°F for about 30 minutes or until set but still slightly jiggly.
41. 2. **Cool and Chill**: Remove from oven, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate overnight.
43. #### 5. Finish with a Crystalline Top
44. 1. **Apply Sugar**: Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar evenly over the top of each parfait using a microplane grater for a fine texture.
45. 2. **Caramelize**: Use a kitchen torch or place under a broiler until sugar melts and creates a caramelized, crunchy topping.
47. #### 6. Garnish
48. - Before serving, garnish with candied pumpkin pieces to add color and flavor contrast.
50. ### Tips:
51. - Ensure your yolks are thoroughly mixed into the cream mixture; this ensures a smooth texture.
52. - Use good quality vanilla extract for a richer flavor.
53. - Candied pumpkin can be made by cooking fresh pumpkin slices in sugar syrup until they reach a sweet, caramel-like consistency.
55. This cardamom creme brûlée parfait with candied pumpkin is not only festive but also incredibly delicious. It’s perfect for sharing and sure to become a holiday favorite!
