Pumpkin and Maple Custards

by Marcus Wareing from Marcus at 主播大秀 (Harper Collins)

A cross between a cr猫me caramel and pumpkin pie, this is an interesting pudding that uses the natural sweetness of a generally savoury ingredient.

Makes 6

Prep time: 40 mins, + 1hr cooling and chilling

Cooking time: 20 mins

听

Ingredients

6 tbsp maple syrup

200g whipping cream

100g whole milk

陆 nutmeg, finely grated

100g egg yolks

80g caster sugar

200g pumpkin pur茅e (delica or kabocha squash, steamed and blended) - Nigel used tinned pur茅e

25ml whisky

black sesame seeds, to serve (or sub with toasted white seeds)

sea salt, to serve

听

Method

Preheat the oven to 120C/100C fan/Gas 陆 .听 Have ready a deep baking tray with 6 ramekins or ovenproof glass bowls sitting inside.听 Place 1 tbsp of maple syrup in the bottom of each ramekin.

Bring the cream and milk to the boil with the nutmeg, then reduce the heat to low.听

Whisk the yolks and sugar together, then add a little of the hot cream, whisking well.听

Pour the yolk mix over the hot cream and mix well.听

Add the whisky and mix well.

Stir with a spatula over a low heat until the mixture begins to coat the back of a spoon.

Mix in the pumpkin pur茅e, then strain through a fine sieve into a jug.听

Fill the tray with enough just-boiled water to come to about halfway up the sides of the ramekins.

Pour the custard into the ramekins, then cover the entire tray with foil.听

Very carefully place in the oven for 20 mins.

Remove the tray carefully from the oven and peel back the foil.听

To test if the custards are done, remove one of the ramekins, using a hot cloth, and shake it gently to check the wobble.听 It should wobble only in the centre 鈥� if it doesn鈥檛, replace the foil and leave to stand for another 10 min.听

When done, remove the ramekins from the water bath and allow to cool for 30 mins.听

Place in the fridge to chill completely.

Remove the custards from the fridge at least an hour before serving.听

Top with sesame seeds and salt, and serve.
