  1. Yummy! I reduced this down to 1 serving and got 2 beautiful ramekins. Directions are spot on. The Brulee is not very sweet at all, leaving the sweetness to the crunchy brown sugar topping. Perfect. This is a wonderful Autumn recipe Boomie, thanks so much for sharing it. :)
     
  2. If you love pumpkin, you will love this dessert! I used vanilla bean, and FF half and half in place of the cream. I got lots of compliments as my family ate their desserts, and especially my sister, who says she is going to make this to serve on Thanksgiving from now on she liked it so much! I might try it with Bailey's Irish Cream next time and see how it comes out. When you put the Ramekins under the broiler with the brown sugar, be sure to watch them closely, so they don't burn. Excellent dessert Boomie, and thank you for sharing it with us! Made for Newest Zaar Stars 2/09. Linda
