Creamy Pumpkin Pudding Recipes

PUMPKIN PUDDING FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups of the milk, the pumpkin puree (15 oz.), and the pumpkin pie spice mix (2 teaspoons). Heat on medium-low, whisking occasionally, until it begins to bubble gently.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar (1 cup), cornstarch (1/4 cup), salt (1/4 teaspoon. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of milk while whisking, making sure to smooth out any lumps of cornstarch before adding more. Add the egg yolks (4) and whisk to combine until everything is very smooth.
• Using a ladle, transfer about half of the hot pumpkin mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, gradually, whisking continuously. Continue whisking until it's a smooth mixture. Then, gradually transfer the mixture back into the saucepan, whisking continuously.
• Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking continuously, until it starts to bubble. Continue to cook and whisk constantly (it's a workout!) until the mixture has thickened (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the pan from heat and add the vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and salted butter (2 tablespoons) and whisk/stir to combine until butter has melted.
• Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a small-medium bowl. Press plastic wrap on the top to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until cool (about 2 hours). Serve garnished with crumbled gingersnap cookies and whipped cream, if desired.

PUMPKIN CREAM PIE

Steps:

• Combine milk, pie filling mix, pumpkin, spices, and whipped topping in a deep, narrow-bottom bowl. Beat at lowest speed of an electric mixer for about 1 minute. Pour filling into cooled pie shell.
• Chill until set, about 3 hours.

PUMPKIN PIE PUDDING

WARM PUMPKIN STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING WITH VANILLA CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F with a rack in the middle. Butter a 12-cup muffin pan, if not nonstick.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, baking soda, allspice and cloves in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter with the pumpkin, brown sugar, buttermilk, vanilla and eggs. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
• Divide the batter into the muffin pan. Bake until a wooden pick comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack.
• Slice the muffins horizontally into three pieces. Place a tablespoon of the Cranberry Caramel Sauce between each layer, finishing with a large spoon of the Vanilla Cream and a sprinkle of dried cranberries.
• In a medium saucepan, cook the sugar over medium-low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help the sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook the caramel without stirring, gently swirling the pan until deep golden, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and carefully add the cream and butter (the mixture will vigorously steam and the caramel will harden). Return to the heat and simmer, stirring, until the caramel is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the dried cranberries.
• Beat the whipping cream, sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl until firm peaks forms.

PUMPKIN PUDDING II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Blend together the sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, pumpkin, cinnamon, salt, clove and pie spice. Pour into baking dish.
• Spread dry cake mix over pumpkin mixture. Sprinkle with cinnamon, margarine and chopped nuts.
• Bake for 60 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Serve with whipped cream if desired.

CREAMY PUMPKIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Rinse the rice, and cook it according to instructions (but don't add oil/butter, greasy rice will mess up this recipe) or just add the 2 cups water to a saucepan with the rice and simmer it for 15-20 minutes until fluffy. I think microwaving the rice (please check your brand of rice's instructions) will also work if you're in a hurry but I've only done it the stovetop way so far.
• Don't rinse or drain the fluffy rice! It kills the nutrients and will also be hard to stir after this.
• Add the milk, or milk variant, and stir it in well. Then add the applesauce and meld it perfectly.
• Let the mixture simmer over medium heat until it thickens.
• Add the pumpkin, mix thoroughly. Then add the sugar and spice.
• Stir and let it cook until the rice is soft.
• Pour into a large heatproof bowl/container, or individual serving ramekins/bowls, and let it chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
• For presentation, garnish with cinnamon sticks or fresh mint leaves.
