To make this Gingerbread Brulee with Gingerbread Cookie Crumble, you will need the following ingredients:

For the Gingerbread Brulee:

- 4 egg yolks
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

For the Gingerbread Cookie Crumble:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/4 tsp salt
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. Begin by making the Gingerbread Cookie Crumble. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the molasses and mix until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a crumbly dough forms. Spread the dough onto a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool. Once cooled, break the cookie into small pieces and set aside.
Next, make the Gingerbread Brulee. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream, vanilla extract, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until it comes to a simmer. Gradually pour the hot cream mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Once combined, pour the mixture into ramekins and place them in a baking dish. Fill the baking dish with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the custard is set. Once done, remove from the oven and let cool.
To assemble, sprinkle the Gingerbread Cookie Crumble on top of the Gingerbread Brulee. Use a kitchen torch to brulee the top until it is golden brown and caramelized. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich and creamy flavors of this Gingerbread Brulee with Gingerbread Cookie Crumble.
