Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 cups whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1/2 cup sugar (or maple syrup, honey, or coconut sugar as alternatives)
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice (blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, pumpkin pie spice, and salt to form your dry base that will thicken the pudding once heated.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Milk: Slowly whisk in the canned pumpkin and milk, combining fully to ensure a smooth mixture without lumps for the perfect pudding texture.
  3. Cook Over Medium Heat: Place the saucepan on medium heat and stir constantly. After 5–7 minutes, the mixture will thicken to a luscious pudding consistency. Keep stirring to avoid lumps or burning.
  4. Remove from Heat and Add Vanilla: Once thickened, remove the pudding from heat and stir in vanilla extract to enhance aroma and flavor depth.
  5. Chill or Serve Warm: Pour the pudding into serving dishes. Enjoy immediately warm or refrigerate for at least 2 hours to serve chilled, both options are delightful.

Notes

  • Constant stirring during cooking prevents lumps and sticking.
  • Use freshly ground spices for a more vibrant flavor.
  • Taste the pudding before chilling and adjust the sweetness gradually.
  • If the pudding thickens too much after chilling, whisk in a splash of milk before serving.
  • Serve with whipped cream, toasted nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added texture and flavor.
