  • Pumpkin Pudding: The Perfect Treat!

    Even though the sight, smell, and taste of pumpkins are oh-so-autumn, but you don’t have to wait until holidays to enjoy this tasty dessert. Keep some canned pumpkin, an excellent source of vitamin A, on the shelf year-round to enjoy this treat in any season!

    Gingered Pumpkin Pudding Ingredients:

    1 cup canned pumpkin
    3/4 cup whole milk
    1 large egg, lightly beaten
    1 tablespoon light brown sugar
    3/4 teaspoon orange or lemon extract
    1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
    1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    Pinch of salt
    4 teaspoons whipped reduced-fat cream cheese
    Instructions:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat four 6-ounce custard cups with cooking spray; set on a sturdy baking sheet.
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, milk, egg, brown sugar, extract, ginger, cinnamon, and salt. Pour into the custard cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of a pudding comes out clean. Serve warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of the cream cheese.
