What are the ingredients of Pumpkin Pie Pudding?

  • Pumpkin puree [paid link]I use organic canned pumpkin which is not the same as the one labeled pumpkin pie filling.
  • vanilla extract [paid link]I only recommend pure vanilla extract [paid link]. The flavor is amazing as compared to imitation Vanilla (not pictured).
  • Pumpkin Pie seasoning – Homemade from spices already in your pantry – why pay twice for these ingredients?
  • Milk, Low Fat (1%) – may also use skim, 2%, or whole. Recipe may also work with almond milk or soy milk for vegan.
  • Eggused as a thickener and cooks in the pudding base on the stove top. Could possibly substitute chia seeds for vegan.
  • Cornstarchjust enough to thicken the pudding and give it that creamy mouth-feel.
  • Sugaryou may also substitute your favorite honey, Stevia, Splenda (for baking), maple syrup, or agave.
  • Saltjust a pinch. This brightens the flavors on your palate (not pictured).

Optional Garnishes:

  • Fresh whipped cream fresh tastes best and it’s SO EASY to make. Guests are always impressed with freshly whipped cream. Omit for vegan.
  • Toasted walnuts – See Kitchen Tip below.
  • Nutmeg – freshly shaved is amazing but a dash of extra pumpkin pie spice tastes great, too.

Expert Tip:

To toast walnuts, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and stir constantly. The nuts are done when they start to brown. This will take 5-minutes or less. Watch them closely as they can burn easily.
