Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Pumpkin puree
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 large Egg yolks

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually pour in the whole milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks.

Step 5

Gradually add about 1/2 cup of the hot milk mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously, to temper the eggs.

Step 6

Slowly pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, whisking constantly.

Step 7

Stir in the pumpkin puree and cook over medium-low heat until the pudding is thickened and smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 9

Transfer the pudding to individual serving cups or a large serving dish. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming.

Step 10

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.

Step 11

Serve cold, optionally garnished with whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or crushed gingersnap cookies.
