Excited for you to give these a try this holiday season! Don't forget to explore the description for a discount code on Heilala Products or swing by your nearest Sprouts Farmers Market!
Comment below what you're baking this Thanksgiving.
Thank you for the recipe. Instead of using a torch, can one prepare caramel separately, and then pour it on top of the custard?
I couldn't find whole pumpkin in the grocery store. Can I substitute kabocha Squash for the pumpkin?
Mommy!.
Thank you ! Looks delicious!💖
Cat- “I’m Not fine… where’s my Dinner!”❤ But seriously, I can’t wait to make this for the holidays
I just love Claire Saffitz! The way she explains reasons for doing various steps has given me confidence to try things I previously wouldn’t have tackled(puff pastry) she really has changed the way I bake. Thank you Claire!
My grandma used to measure her vanilla in “sloshes”. One “slosh” from her was meant to be a teaspoon, but was easily twice that. Everyone who ate her baking loved it, and I use her method in my own kitchen. I can only imagine what a slosh of that Heilala vanilla would bring to a baked good!!
Yay! I am glad the vanilla is at Sprouts now. I have a couple nearby. New kitty is absolutely adorable.
I respect your beauties
Oh god claire look out theres A TIGER OUTSIDE
Claire…get an electric kettle…
I know this might be a stupid question but I'm a complete novice when it comes to baking. When you need eggs, butter, milk etc to be room temperature, how do you know that they are at room temperature ? Like, do you pull them out a few hours before you need them? And like, how long can they be out for before going bad?
so excited to make these for thanksgiving. my husband and i have made traditional creme brulee a few times so im really looking forward to the pumpkin!
Am i the only one that watch claire’s videos as entertainment way not like watching for doing the recipe? She just fun to watch and she KNOWS what she doing
Made this today and it turned out fantastic! Please continue making variations on classic desserts.
♥️♥️♥️
@CSaffitz FYI in the video you say you’re going to include the full recipe amount in the description, but you copied the halved recipe. You also forgot vanilla extract in the description. I am making these for thanksgiving and so excited!
The heavy cream conversion is off. Wouldn’t 1 1/3 cups be something like 320g?
I made these tonight so they’ll be ready to eat tomorrow. The recipe only made 4 for me. They look fabulous! Can’t wait to eat them tomorrow!
Edit: oh…realize the recipe in the comments says it makes 4, but in the video, Claire said it would make 8…so I was anticipating it would make 8. Otherwise, making it went perfectly!
this thanksgiving will be xtra elcious !
