The leaves are falling and that means there’s also a 99% chance that if you’re a Starbucks employee you hate the word and all things PUMPKIN by now! No, I’m not gonna order anything pumpkin today but I will show you how to make a delicious and macro friendly Pumpkin Protein Creme Brûlée!

Start this pumpkin protein creme brûlée with either a food processor or blender. The goal is to get your mix as smooth as possible.

Add into it 1/4 cup of pumpkin puree, 3 large egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of a sweetener, and 1 scoop of either vanilla or chocolate protein powder.

Process or blend everything together until smooth. This shouldn’t take more than a minute or two.

Take out a couple short ramekins and evenly distribute your protein creme brûlée mix into them.

Place those onto a baking pan or dish that’s taller than them and add hot water until it’s halfway up your ramekins.

Put your pumpkin protein creme brûlée in the oven on 325F/162C for around 25-30 minutes.

The first couple times you bake these, I’d suggest to keep an eye on them. As soon as the texture looks good, pull them out and remember how long they were in there.

The texture should be jiggly but not liquid and definitely not completely set like a cake.

Torch Your Brûlée

Sprinkle on a couple teaspoons of a brown sugar substitute and a sweetener.

Finish your protein creme brûlée off by taking out a kitchen torch and torching them until it forms a nice little crust on top. Remember to keep your torch moving so you don’t burn them!
