Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and warm the mixture, stirring frequently to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch (or arrowroot powder) with the water to form a smooth slurry.
Gradually add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
Continue cooking and stirring the mixture over medium heat until it thickens to a creamy pudding-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the pudding to cool slightly.
Divide the pudding evenly into four small serving dishes or ramekins.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 1 hour to fully set and chill.
Optionally, garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon before serving.
