Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 0.25 cups Cornstarch
- 3 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Heavy cream (for whipped cream)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Candied ginger, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pumpkin puree, whole milk, and heavy cream over medium heat until warmed through. Do not boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the egg yolks and whisk until smooth and well combined.
Slowly pour the warm pumpkin mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to prevent the eggs from cooking.
Return the mixture to the saucepan and place over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble, about 7-9 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, ground ginger, and nutmeg.
Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing the wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or until fully set.
To make the candied ginger whipped cream, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until soft peaks form.
Gently fold in the chopped candied ginger and vanilla extract until evenly mixed.
When ready to serve, top each pudding with a generous dollop of candied ginger whipped cream. Optionally, garnish with additional candied ginger or a light dusting of cinnamon.
