Ingredients

  • 200 g pumpkin flesh (peeled)
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 150 ml milk
  • 150 ml heavy cream (30%)
  • 2 tbsp vanilla sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 80 g sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Oil (for the molds)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Coarsely dice the pumpkin and simmer with a little water in a pot for about 20 minutes until tender. Then puree finely and let cool slightly.

  2. 2.

    For the caramel glaze, simmer the sugar with water in a small saucepan until the sugar turns golden brown. Immediately pour into lightly oiled molds and swirl to distribute evenly across the bottom.

  3. 3.

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F) fan‑forced or conventional heat.

  4. 4.

    Whisk the sugar with the egg and yolks. Bring milk, cream, and vanilla sugar to a boil, then pour into the egg mixture while stirring.

  5. 5.

    Strain the egg‑milk mixture through a sieve, mix in the pumpkin puree and lemon zest, and fill the molds. Place the molds in a baking dish and add boiling water up to half the height of the molds. Bake for about 40 minutes until set.

  6. 6.

    Let the custard cool before serving by pouring onto plates.
