Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree and brown sugar. Stir well over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
Add the ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir until these spices are fully incorporated into the pumpkin mixture.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine with the pumpkin mixture. Allow the mixture to gently come to a simmer, making sure it does not boil.
Simmer the mixture for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the pumpkin cream to cool slightly before transferring it to a bowl or container.
Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pumpkin cream to prevent a skin from forming and refrigerate for at least 1 hour until fully chilled.
Once chilled, give the pumpkin cream a quick stir and serve it as a topping for pies, a spread on toast, or layered into parfaits.
