### Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, heavy cream, and brown sugar. Stir well over medium heat until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the warm pumpkin mixture, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble gently. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the pudding to cool slightly.
- Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes or a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully chilled.
- Before serving, top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Enjoy this comforting dessert with family and friends!
