GINGER POT DE CREME
Steps:
- In a large saucepan, combine the cream, ginger and sugar and place over medium heat; bring just to a boil, remove from the heat and set aside, covered, for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture and discard the ginger. Put the yolks in a large bowl and whisk until they are thick and light-colored. Very slowly pour in the hot cream, whisking constantly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve and allow to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Pour the cream mixture into 6 1/4-cup custard cups and cover them with foil. Place the cups in a baking pan and pour boiling water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the cups. Bake until the custard is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the cups from the pan and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm or refrigerate and serve chilled.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Combine the cream and fresh ginger in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until steam rises. Cover the pan, turn off the heat, and steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Beat the yolks and sugar together until light. Remove the ginger slices from the cream and pour about a quarter of the cream into the egg mixture, then pour the sugar-egg mixture into the cream and stir. If you're using the candied ginger, add it now. Pour into four 6-ounce ramekins and put the ramekins in a baking dish; pour water into the dish to come halfway up the side of the ramekins and cover with foil.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the center is barely set. (Heavy cream sets fastest, half-and-half more slowly.) Cool or chill, then serve.
PUMPKIN POTS DE CRèME WITH AMARETTI-GINGER CRUNCH
It may be Thanksgiving, but to make pumpkin pie is a relatively thankless task. Always invited but often ignored, most pumpkin pies are too heavy to enjoy after a large dinner. Yet the meal is somehow incomplete without it. Sometimes it's kinder to break up the union of pumpkin and pie. An ethereal custard covered with crunchy cookie crumbs and spicy-sweet ginger plays the pumpkin role with more grace. Traditional pumpkin-pie spices like cinnamon and nutmeg can be used or not, according to the impeccable taste of the cook.

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring pumpkin puree cream and vanilla bean halves to a boil; set aside for 15 minutes, and then remove vanilla bean halves. In a medium metal bowl or the top of a double boiler, combine egg yolks and sugar. Place bowl over a pot of barely simmering water (make sure bottom of bowl doesn't touch water). Whisk constantly until mixture forms a ribbon when you lift the whisk, about 6 or 8 minutes. Be careful not to overheat, or egg mixture could curdle.
- Whisk in hot pumpkin mixture, and cook over medium heat, whisking often, until mixture has consistency of thick cream, 40 to 50 minutes. Mixture should gently steam; be careful not to overheat. Add cinnamon and nutmeg, if using, and mix well. Strain into a pitcher or a bowl with a pouring lip.
- Divide mixture among 10 to 12 teacups, ramekins or custard cups. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or up to 2 days. Just before serving combine amaretti crumbs and ginger, and sprinkle on top of each dessert.
