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)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, whole milk, granulated sugar, cornstarch, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt.

Step 2

Whisk the mixture thoroughly until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Once the pudding has thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour the pudding into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Let it cool slightly before covering with plastic wrap.

Step 6

Press the plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 7

Refrigerate the pudding for at least 2 hours, or until fully chilled and set.

Step 8

Before serving, top each portion with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed gingersnap cookies, if desired.

Step 9

Serve chilled and enjoy your Pumpkin Pudding Perfection!
