  8. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 5 tbsp flour
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Pumpkin Crème Anglaise Topping

Directions

  1. Whisk milk, vanilla and pumpkin in a saucepan.

  2. Using medium heat, stir frequently with a rubber spatula until small bubbles start to form on the surface. Do not let it boil!

  3. While the milk heats, whisk sugar, egg yolks, and spices in a medium bowl until frothy, about 30-60 seconds brisk whisking.

  4. Once the milk has bubbles, SLOWLY pour it into the egg mixture, whisking quickly and nonstop.

  5. Go as slowly as possible to avoid scrambling the eggs!

  6. Return everything to the pan and whisk until it begins to simmer then turn down the heat to low continuing to whisk constantly and ensuring nothing hardens along the sides, until it reaches the desired consistency. It will thicken slightly as it cools, if you’re not serving right away. If it thickens too much while cooking, simply add more milk.

  7. Be sure to taste as you go. You can add more of any ingredient except for eggs, to reach your desired flavor. You can store any left-overs in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks.

To ensure food safety, eggs should be cooked until both the yolk and the white are firm. Consuming raw or undercooked eggs may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially for those with certain medical conditions. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use either pasteurized shell eggs that have been treated to destroy Salmonella, or use pasteurized egg products.
