A taste of Pumkin Pie

Mmm yummy right? This is pumpkin pie pudding. This recipe is from Kitchen Dreaming. My kids did not like it at all. My son daughter refused to touch it and my son pretended to eat it and then ran and spit it out. My husband did eat a bowl of it, but I am fairly certain he did not like it either. I thought it was yummy, it did taste exactly like pumpkin pie, and I think it would have tasted much better if it had whipped cream.

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons of sugar
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1 3/4 cups of 1% low fat milk ( I used whole milk)
1 large egg
1 cup of canned unsweetened pumpkin
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie seasoning
1/8 teaspoon of salt

Optional Garnish: Dollop of whipped cream and toasted walnuts, and I had neither.

Directions:

1.) combine 6 tablespoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Combine milk and egg, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add milk mixture to sugar mixture, stirring constantly, and bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.

2) Combine pumpkin, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a bowl, stirring until well incorporated. Slowly add pumpkin mixture to milk, whisking constantly. Place pan over low heat, and cook for 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring constantly (do not boil) Divide pudding evenly among 4 dessert bowls, and cover surface  with plastic wrap to prevent it from forming a skin over the top. Chill until ready to serve.

3.) top with either whipped cream or toasted walnuts.

If you try it, I hope that you enjoy it.
