Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Skim milk
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the cornstarch, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt. Whisk to combine.
Slowly add the skim milk to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to avoid any lumps.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until it begins to thicken. This will take about 5–7 minutes.
Once the mixture has thickened, stir in the pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Continue to cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pudding cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the pudding into serving dishes or ramekins. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of fat-free whipped topping.
