- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 0.25 cup crushed graham crackers (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
Add the pumpkin puree and whisk until fully combined.
Set the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and begins to bubble. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into individual serving bowls or ramekins.
Let the pudding cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill thoroughly.
Before serving, top each bowl with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy pumpkin pudding!
