For the Styrian cream with spiced pears, first boil currant juice with sugar and spices in a small pot. Peel, halve and core the pears and cut them into wedges. Boil the pear slices briefly in the spiced juice. The pears should not become completely soft. Remove pot from heat and let cool.
Stir 100 ml milk with cornstarch until smooth. Mix yolks and sugar, do not whisk. Bring the remaining 400 ml milk to a boil with the cinnamon stick, remove from heat and let cool for about 1 minute. Whisk the yolk-sugar mixture into the milk and let it thicken over low to medium heat, stirring constantly. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
Once the mixture has thickened slightly, stir in the cornstarch milk and add the pumpkin seed oil. Heat again for about 20 seconds, stirring constantly, until the cornstarch binds the mixture. Remove the cinnamon stick, then pour the cream into a shallow, ovenproof container, such as soup plates, a porcelain coffee cup, or small ramekins and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Before serving, sprinkle the chilled cream evenly with brown sugar and flambé with a burner until the sugar caramelizes. Drain the pear wedges and place on top of the Styrian cream. If you do not have a flambé burner: The cream also tastes not caramelized.
