Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream (for serving, optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, whole milk, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until well combined. This mixture will form the base of your pudding and guarantee a creamy texture.
- Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt to the mixture. Continue to whisk until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the slow cooker, spreading it evenly. Make sure to grease the bottom and sides of the slow cooker with non-stick spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for about 4 hours, or until the pudding has set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain the heat.
- Once done, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding cool for a few minutes before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled, depending on your preference.
Extra Tips:
For added richness, consider stirring in a few tablespoons of cream cheese into the pumpkin mixture before cooking. This will create an even creamier texture.
If you like a bit of crunch, you can sprinkle some toasted pecans or walnuts on top before serving.
