Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 0.3333 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk together until smooth and consistent.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture begins to gently simmer. Be sure not to let it boil, as boiling can cause the cream to curdle.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water together to create a slurry.
Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the saucepan while whisking constantly. Continue cooking the mixture for 2–3 minutes, or until it thickens to a creamy consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
Remove the saucepan from the heat, and allow the spiced pumpkin cream to cool slightly. Taste the mixture and adjust spices or sweetness if desired.
Pour the pumpkin cream into serving dishes, jars, or bowls. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
Serve cold, optionally topped with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or crushed graham crackers for extra flair. Enjoy!
