Brioche

Pumpkin Whip

Method

Prepare the Brioche

  1. 1

    Make the Custard Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Brioche

    Submerge each slice of Manresa brioche in the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 2 minutes on each side, or until well absorbed.

Cook the French Toast

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

  2. 4

    Cook the Toast

    Place the soaked brioche slices on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.

  3. 5

    Brûlée the French Toast

    Once cooked, sprinkle a little extra brown sugar on top of each slice and use a kitchen torch to brûlée the sugar until caramelized and crispy.

Prepare the Pumpkin Whip

  1. 6

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form.

Serve

    Plate the French Toast

    Place the brûléed pumpkin French toast on a serving plate.

  2. 8

    Add the Pumpkin Whip

    Top each slice with a generous dollop of pumpkin whip.

    Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
