Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix the Pumpkin Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves), evaporated milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or individual ramekins for single servings.
Pour the Filling: Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared dish, filling just to the rim.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center.
Cool: Let the pumpkin dish cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
Brûlée the Top: Once chilled, sprinkle an even layer of torch sugar over the top. Using a kitchen torch, slowly brown the sugar until it melts and forms a crisp top layer. Allow cooling for a few minutes.
Serve: Cut into squares or serve directly in ramekins, and enjoy your perfectly creamy, bruleed dessert!
