Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 cup unsweetened pumpkin puree
  • 1.75 cup cold whole or 2% milk chilled
  • 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar packed
  • 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 cup lightly sweetened whipped cream for serving, optional
  • 0.5 cup crushed gingersnaps or graham cracker crumbs for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk the instant pudding mix with the cold milk in a large bowl until it begins to thicken, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the pumpkin puree until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
  • Mix in the brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until creamy.
  • Cover and chill for at least 10 minutes to set and thicken.
  • Spoon into cups, add a dollop of whipped cream, and sprinkle with cookie crumbs if using. Serve cold.

Notes

Variation: Swap the vanilla pudding with butterscotch pudding for a deeper caramel note. For a lighter dessert, use skim milk and skip the added sugar. Make-ahead tip: Portion into jars, cover, and refrigerate up to 3 days; add toppings just before serving.
