PUMPKIN PUDDING FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together 2 cups of the milk, the pumpkin puree (15 oz.), and the pumpkin pie spice mix (2 teaspoons). Heat on medium-low, whisking occasionally, until it begins to bubble gently.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar (1 cup), cornstarch (1/4 cup), salt (1/4 teaspoon. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of milk while whisking, making sure to smooth out any lumps of cornstarch before adding more. Add the egg yolks (4) and whisk to combine until everything is very smooth.
• Using a ladle, transfer about half of the hot pumpkin mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, gradually, whisking continuously. Continue whisking until it's a smooth mixture. Then, gradually transfer the mixture back into the saucepan, whisking continuously.
• Continue to cook over medium heat, whisking continuously, until it starts to bubble. Continue to cook and whisk constantly (it's a workout!) until the mixture has thickened (about 3-4 minutes). Remove the pan from heat and add the vanilla extract (1 teaspoon) and salted butter (2 tablespoons) and whisk/stir to combine until butter has melted.
• Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes or a small-medium bowl. Press plastic wrap on the top to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until cool (about 2 hours). Serve garnished with crumbled gingersnap cookies and whipped cream, if desired.

EASY BAKED PUMPKIN PUDDING

• Bake in the preheated oven until center is set, about 30 minutes.

CREAMY PUMPKIN RICE PUDDING

Steps:

• Rinse the rice, and cook it according to instructions (but don't add oil/butter, greasy rice will mess up this recipe) or just add the 2 cups water to a saucepan with the rice and simmer it for 15-20 minutes until fluffy. I think microwaving the rice (please check your brand of rice's instructions) will also work if you're in a hurry but I've only done it the stovetop way so far.
• Don't rinse or drain the fluffy rice! It kills the nutrients and will also be hard to stir after this.
• Add the milk, or milk variant, and stir it in well. Then add the applesauce and meld it perfectly.
• Let the mixture simmer over medium heat until it thickens.
• Add the pumpkin, mix thoroughly. Then add the sugar and spice.
• Stir and let it cook until the rice is soft.
• Pour into a large heatproof bowl/container, or individual serving ramekins/bowls, and let it chill for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
• For presentation, garnish with cinnamon sticks or fresh mint leaves.
