1 Video | Photo: Leftover Pumpkin Pie Brulee Recipe
Ingredients
- Leftover pumpkin pie
- 5 tablespoons sugar
Directions
Peel crust off the outside of overturned pieces of pie and line the inside of small ramekins of coffee cups with the pie crust pieces. Spoon pumpkin pie filling (straight from the pie!) equally into small ramekins or stoneware coffee cups.
Sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over the filling in each ramekin.
Using a mini-torch, torch the top until sugar is caramelized. The ramekins can also be browned under a broiler. If using a broiler, stick the cups inside a pan filled with 1/2-inch of water and place under the broiler until just browned on top.
* Propane Gas Torch
Propane gas torches are highly flammable and should be kept away from heat, open flame and prolonged exposure to sunlight. They should be used only in well-ventilated areas. When lighting a propane gas torch, place the torch on a flat, steady surface, facing away from you. Light the match or lighter and then open the gas valve. Light the gas jet, and blow out the match. Always turn off the burner valve to "finger tight" when finished using the torch. Children should never use a propane gas torch without adult supervision.

Outstanding use of 'leftovers'! Chef Michael has such a creative turn of mind. You almost have to bake an extra pie or two just to make and enjoy this fantastic treat! Other kinds of pies should adept this well too. I'm going to have to try & discover the other varieties. Thank you, Chef Chiarello.
