Pumpkin Pie Ignition Suitcase
Fire is fun. Pie is fun. Burning pumpkin pie (lightly) is just a great pastime. In fact, I think all quiches require brulee, but pumpkin is a seasonal favorite, so we’ll focus on that.
Imagine, if you will, the end of Thanksgiving dinner. You are sleepy. You are full. But it’s time for cake and coffee. You are pulling together. Then the autumn angel offers you a choice: do you want your pie to be topped with whipped cream, caramelized sugar crust, or both? How loved would you feel at this moment? I think very much.
You can pre-fry your entire pie, but there is something special about setting fire to the table. People love fire. In addition, the sweet crust becomes most crispy during the first few minutes after firing. You can even make it interactive and ask guests to sprinkle the desired amount of sugar, perhaps even let them hold the torch themselves (assuming they are not completely spilled).
It’s a simple upgrade that requires little or no effort on your part – you don’t even need to change the recipe. Simply bake the cake as usual, sprinkle it with a healthy sprinkle of table sugar, then saute until the sugar darkens and bubbles, forming a caramelized, almost burnt crust that crumbles nicely under the tines of a fork. After you’ve lit the pumpkin pie, switch the heat to other custard desserts. Brлеlée cheesecake – pumpkin or not – sounds divine.
