    I don't know if I didnt cook these long enough but they didn't set at all after being in the refridgerator. Had to throw them all out. I must have done something wrong but very dissapointing.

    Very good. This was a great alternative to pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving dinner dessert.

    Adding vanilla or almond extract gives this a lot more flavor, also using pumpkin pie spice along with cloves as opposed to just cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger really helps. I've also found that sugar in the raw is the best sugar to use for a creme brulee top. Good luck y'all, overall, it's a pretty good dish.

    Made this last year for Thanksgiving. It was perfect. I completely forgot to strain it and it still came out great. Can't wait to make it again for Christmas.

    I tried this pumpkin brulee because it came from Gale, and I wasn't wrong...it was fantastic! I wanted a light pumpkin dessert for my Thanksgiving dinner, and this was perfect. The pumpkin flavor and sweetness are balanced very well. My brulee ramekins must be small though, because it made 8 servings instead of 4, which was OK by me.

    The recipe is superb! Forget the torching, ignore the plug for dessertsnow.com below and dollop with Cinnamon whipped cream instead.

    This is an excellent recipe. It's pretty foolproof too as opposed to other recipes I've tried. I accidentally splashed a small amount of water from the water bath into the brulee. It still set and was delicious. Other brulees would have never set. The taste was also very good. This will be a standard holiday dessert around here. Thanks Gale!!

    Great recipe....Achieves really a prefect balance of all the good things about creme brulee and all the good things about pumpkin flavored desserts. I did not have any of the issues with separation or a discolored result. I did use a good quality canned pumpkin that is on the dense side as opposed to the fickleness of consistency in homemade pumpkin (which I love, but not for baking. My only complaint...what there's only 4! I know, I know, I can make more.....

    This is a nice and fairly simple alternative to the pumpkin pie. My brulee came out kind of grey in appearance, but the taste was wonderful.
