Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups milk or plant-based milk (such as whole milk, almond milk, or oat milk)
  • 1/2 cup sugar or preferred sweetener
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and all the warm spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves) until fully blended to ensure even flavor distribution and smooth thickening.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Milk: Whisk in the pumpkin puree then slowly pour in the milk, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. The mixture will begin to take on the iconic creamy pumpkin pie color.
  3. Cook Over Medium Heat: Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly. The pudding will gradually thicken in about 5 to 7 minutes. Stirring helps avoid scorching and lumps.
  4. Remove from Heat and Stir in Vanilla: Once thickened, remove the pudding from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the aroma and flavor.
  5. Chill and Serve: Pour the pudding into serving dishes, cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent skin formation, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and pudding to set.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg for the most vibrant flavor.
  • Stir constantly while cooking to maintain smoothness and prevent burning.
  • Taste pumpkin puree before adding sugar since sweetness may vary.
  • Press plastic wrap directly onto pudding surface while chilling to prevent skin.
  • This pudding is delicious served chilled or slightly warm, depending on preference.
