Pumpkin Pie Pudding

Straightforward to make, wholesome, and delicious… you simply would possibly end up making this pumpkin pudding year-round!

Key phrase chia, pudding, pumpkin

Components

3/4 cup pure pumpkin not pumpkin pie combine, see word
3/4 cup plain or vanilla unsweetened non-dairy milk see word
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1-2 tbsp coconut sugar or pinch stevia, see word
2 tbsp white chia seeds (use 1 if black chia)
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4-1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
pinch floor ginger optionally available, I omit it when making for the kiddos
1/8 tsp sea salt barely rounded
1 tsp pure vanilla extract or vanilla seeds from one bean
Non-compulsory toppings: shaving of darkish chocolate vegan cookie crumbles (see word), vegan whipped cream.

Directions

In a blender, add all substances. Mix for a minute or extra (relying on blender, my Blendtec pulverizes the seeds shortly), till the seeds are absolutely pulverized and the pudding begins to thicken (it’s going to thicken extra because it refrigerates).Style, and for those who’d prefer it sweeter, add a teaspoon or two extra of coconut sugar or maple syrup (not an excessive amount of maple syrup or it’s going to turn out to be unfastened). Switch combination to a big bowl/dish, and refrigerate till chilled, about 1/2 hour or extra (it’s going to thicken extra with chilling, however actually may be eaten right away.). Serve, sprinnkling with optionally available toppings if desired.

Notes

Milk Observe: I usually use unsweetened almond milk (both plain or vanilla) once I make this pudding. In case you are utilizing sweetened vanilla milk, scale back the sweetener to style.
Pumpkin word: Canned pumpkin can actually differ in consistency. Some are thinner, others somewhat looser. I exploit Farmers Market brand which may be very thick and dense, and bonus – natural.
Sweetener Observe: I really like coconut sugar, and I feel it provides a buttery-sweet word to recipes. It’s possible you’ll not want/need it on this pudding, the maple syrup could add sufficient sweetness to your style (and the kind of milk used can even have an effect on sweetness). You’ll be able to substitute date sugar for those who choose. It’s also possible to add somewhat further maple syrup, however not more than a couple of tablespoon or two, because the pudding can turn out to be somewhat unfastened.
Concept: Serve paired with crumbled ‘Gingery Cookies’ from LTEV, or ‘Snifferdoodles’, or a vegan graham-type cookie. Like pumpkin pie in a bowl!
