In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornstarch and non-fat milk until the cornstarch has completely dissolved and there are no lumps.
Add the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt to the saucepan. Stir until well-combined.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk frequently as the mixture begins to warm. Continue stirring to avoid lumps from forming.
Once the mixture begins to bubble, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into 4 individual ramekins or serving bowls.
Allow the pudding to cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming on the surface. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Serve cold, optionally garnished with a dollop of low-fat whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
