Orange Pumpkin Pots De Creme
- 1 34 cups half-and-half
- 5 large egg yolks
- 13 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur
- 12 teaspoon ground coriander
- finely shredded orange peel
- Rinse pumpkins.
- Pierce each top deeply with a knife or fork several times.
- Set pumpkins (a few at a time, if they don't all fit) on a rack at least 1 inch above 11/2 inches of water in a 14-inch wok or a 5- to 6-quart pan.
- Cover and bring water to a boil over high heat.
- Keep boiling and steam pumpkins until tender when pierced, 15 to 20 minutes.
- If needed, add more boiling water.
- Let pumpkins cool until comfortable to touch, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- With a small, sharp knife, cut down and around each stem to make an opening about 2 inches wide.
- Lift out stem end and reserve.
- With a small spoon, scoop seeds from pumpkins (without breaking through skin) and discard.
- In a bowl, whisk half-and-half, egg yolks, sugar, liqueur, and coriander.
- Fill pumpkins equally with egg mixture.
- Return filled pumpkins (a few at a time, if they don't all fit) and lids to a rack at least 1 inch above 11/2 inches of water in the wok or pan.
- Drape foil over pumpkins to prevent condensation on the pan lid from dripping into filling.
- Cover pan and bring water to a boil over high heat.
- Keep water at a boil, and steam until filling looks set in center and jiggles only slightly all over when gently shaken, 12 to 16 minutes.
- Gently transfer pumpkins to plates or a dish and set lids alongside if desired.
- Serve warm or cool.
- Garnish each pumpkin with shredded orange peel.
