Préparation
Infusing the Truffle
In a container, infuse the black truffle pieces in liquid cream for at least 2 hours. This essential step reveals the full aromatic richness of the truffle and creates an intensely flavored base, ideal for a refined culinary preparation.
Preparing the Pumpkin
Blanch the small pumpkins (or Hokkaido squash) in boiling water for a few minutes to soften the flesh. Drain them carefully and then scoop out the tender flesh. This vegetable base adds sweetness and balance to the preparation while enhancing the truffle's aromas.
Making the Crème Brûlée Base
In a saucepan, mix the truffle-infused cream, pumpkin flesh, egg yolks, vanilla seeds, and spices (cinnamon and ginger). Heat gently while stirring until a smooth and slightly thickened texture is achieved. Then pour into ramekins, let cool, and place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
Caramelized Finish
At the time of serving, sprinkle each crème with a teaspoon of sugar and a bit of brown sugar. Caramelize using a torch until a thin, golden, and crispy crust forms. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between the cream's softness and the crunch of the caramel.
Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin
For an even silkier texture, gently warm the infused cream and pumpkin puree before incorporating them into the egg and sugar mixture. This will result in a smoother and perfectly homogeneous cream.
