Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Pudding Base

  • 2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pudding.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Spices and Salt: Add the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt to the bowl. Whisk again to fully incorporate the spices evenly into the mixture.
  4. Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the pumpkin mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps and ensure the batter is smooth.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray, then pour the pudding batter evenly into the dish.
  6. Bake the Pudding: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to set further before serving.
  8. Serve: Serve the baked pumpkin pudding warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • You can use either canned or fresh pumpkin puree depending on availability.
  • Ensure the eggs are well whisked into the batter for a smooth custard texture.
  • Use a greased baking dish to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; the center should come out clean.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cloves or allspice to the spice mix.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and served cold or reheated gently.
