Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Whipped cream (for serving)
- 0.5 cups Crushed gingersnap cookies (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, whole milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.
Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Let it cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap.
Press the plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.
Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.
Before serving, top each portion with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed gingersnap cookies, if desired.
Serve chilled and enjoy your Pumpkin Pudding Perfection!
