Ingredients
Method
- Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk in a large mixing bowl for two minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice into the pudding mixture.
- Fold the ingredients together gently using a spatula to maintain a light and airy consistency.
- Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.
- Refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the pudding to set completely.
- Portion into individual serving cups and add whipped topping if desired.
Notes
Ensure you use pure pumpkin puree, not pre-spiced pumpkin pie filling. Whole milk is recommended for the best creamy mouthfeel. Do not substitute with cook-and-serve pudding, as this recipe relies on the instant variety to set properly without heat.
