Pumpkin Crème Brûlée Recipe

As I post this recipe, I carefully duck under my desk in case anyone decides to toss some virtual tomatoes at me here. Yes, this is another pumpkin recipe on the internet. But in all honesty, I didn’t know pumpkin crème brûlée was even a thing until last Thanksgiving. My cousin had contributed to the dessert spread by making these tasty treats for us, and I was immediately in love.

I had one of those aha moments earlier this week when I discovered this whole idea of waffled brioche. I was actually doing some online shopping for the holidays, and I was looking at waffle irons for a friend. One of the irons had an accompanying video with famed chef Tyler Florence explaining how he used that particular waffle iron. He demonstrated his use of fluffy brioche bread and how he dipped it in a French toast type of batter before placing it inside the waffle iron. I sat there staring at the screen in amazement.

I was watching the fashion documentary Dior and I on Netflix, and I was reminded of my own time spent in the fashion industry. When I tell people that I used to work in fashion but now work with food, they’re often surprised. For me, however, the transition felt very natural and homogeneous. In my old job, I used to work with a design team to create various marketing visuals, including look books and digital content that could be shared via social media. Art and creativity were always the basis for my work.
