Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of pumpkin puree, 1 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure that your pudding cooks evenly.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, and salt. Use a whisk to blend all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Once the mixture is smooth, pour it into a greased baking dish or individual ramekins, depending on your serving preference. Make sure not to fill them to the top, as the pudding may rise slightly during baking.
- Place the baking dish or ramekins in the preheated oven. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- After baking, remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. This will make it easier to handle and serve.
- Once cooled, you can serve the pudding warm or chilled. If desired, top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional pumpkin spice for garnish.
- Enjoy your delicious Orange Pumpkin Spice Pudding as a delightful dessert that captures the flavors of fall!
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality pumpkin puree for the most authentic flavor. Avoid watery canned purees.
- Whisk ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free pudding texture.
- Don't overfill your baking dish - leave some room for the pudding to rise and set.
- For extra richness, consider using whole milk or even adding a splash of heavy cream.
- Test doneness with a toothpick - it should come out clean when the pudding is perfectly baked.
- Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving to help it set and enhance its creamy consistency.
- For a gourmet touch, garnish with candied pecans, a dollop of whipped cream, or a light dusting of cinnamon.
