Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
- 1.25 cups Coconut milk (full-fat)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, and maple syrup. Whisk well to create a smooth mixture.
In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 3 tablespoons of cold water until no lumps remain. Add this slurry to the saucepan with the pumpkin mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat. Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Stir the mixture constantly to prevent scorching.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil while whisking continuously. The pudding will begin to thicken after 4-5 minutes.
Once the pudding reaches your desired thickness, remove it from the heat. If you prefer an ultra-smooth texture, you can blend it with an immersion blender at this point.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Allow it to cool to room temperature before covering with plastic wrap and chilling in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Serve chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped coconut cream, if desired.
