Ingredients

• 450 grams pumpkin puree
• 480 milliliters whole milk
• 3 large eggs
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 120 milliliters caramel sauce (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a large baking dish by filling it halfway with water to create a water bath.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, whole milk, and eggs until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, vanilla extract, and salt to the mixture. Whisk until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

If using, pour the caramel sauce evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch round baking dish or a similar-sized ovenproof mold.

Step 5

Pour the pumpkin mixture gently over the caramel layer, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Place the filled baking dish into the prepared water bath in the larger baking dish. Be careful to ensure no water seeps into the pudding dish.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the pudding.

Step 9

For serving, invert the pudding onto a serving plate if you used caramel. Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or additional caramel sauce.
