This pumpkin pudding recipe is an easy fall dessert or sweet snack for kids and adults alike! It's made with just 4 ingredients and filled with delicious pumpkin flavor.
1package(3.4 oz.) instant vanilla pudding(be sure it's the instant pudding, not the kind you have to cook)
optional: whipped cream and/or pepitas for topping
optional: graham crackers for dipping
Instructions
In a medium-large bowl, whisk together pumpkin purée, pumpkin pie spice, milk, and instant pudding. Whisk until there are no lumps. Pour into individual dessert dishes. Makes 4 half-cup servings.
Chill for about an hour or until firm.
Garnish with pepitas and/or whipped cream. It tastes great scooped up on a graham cracker as well!
Notes
Use plain canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
Any type of milk can be used, including non-dairy.
For lunchbox treats, pour the pudding into snack-sized containers and refrigerate.
If you don't happen to have pumpkin pie spice, either make your own blend (it's easy!) or substitute ¾ teaspoon cinnamon and ¼ teaspoon nutmeg.
