1¾ cups pumpkin puree
1 cup heavy cream
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup granulated sugar for brûlée topping
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the crust by pre-baking for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
In a bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, heavy cream, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust.
Bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour, then refrigerate until completely chilled.
Sprinkle a thin, even layer of sugar over the top just before serving and caramelize with a kitchen torch.
Allow the sugar to cool and harden before slicing and serving.
