1Caprial pence, co-owner and chef at westmoreland bistro, included the recipe for this special holiday dessert in her latest cookbook, "caprial"s cafe".
2This will be a nice change from pumpkin pie for christmas.
3In a heavy saucepan over medium temperature, heat the pumpkin puree, cream and vanilla bean halves to a boil and set aside.
4Place the egg yolks and ?cup of the sugar in a medium stainless steel bowl (or the top of a double boiler) and place the bowl over a pot of barely simmering water.
5Whisk constantly until the mixture forms a ribbon when you lift the whisk, about 6 or 8 minutes.
6Be careful not to scramble the egg mixture.
7Slowly whisk in hot pumpkin mixture to the egg mixture and stirring frequently, cook over medium heat until the mixture has the consistency of softly whipped cream, 40 to 50 minutes.
8Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and ginger and mix well.
9Pour into 6 custard cups and refrigerate for 3 hours or overnight.
10When ready to serve, sprinkle each custard with 4 teaspoons sugar and place under a preheated broiler for 2 or 3 minutes or until sugar is browned.
