Ingredients:
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream, divided
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 TB pumpkin
2/3 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (use a fresh nutmeg nut)
1/8 teaspoon salt
Step 1:
To get the 1/2 cup plus 2 TB pumpkin you will first need to roast the pumpkin.
Get 1 small sugar pumpkin of about 10” in diameter (I made extra in the picture), very carefully slice in half with a heavy knife and scoop out the seeds. YLightly oil the cut edges of the squash, and place cut side down on a baking sheet into a 350 degree oven, and roast until tender and you can poke through the skin easily with a fork, about 40 minutes.
