If you've been obsessing over putting pumpkin in your coffee this year, why not also integrate the popular flavor in a pumpkin pudding? This caramelized pumpkin pudding recipe from APT2B Baking featured on Refinery29 is not only a velvety autumnal dessert, it also provides instant happiness.
As Refinery29 points out, this is an excellent use of leftover pumpkin puree whether it's post Halloween jack-o-lantern carving or for Thanksgiving. The recipe utilizes the Winter Luxury squash, which has a smooth texture and flavor. The roasted pumpkin puree is not only caramelized, but spiced with fall seasoning like allspice, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg. The pudding is also garnished with a brown sugar cream and topped with a seeded brittle. Once chilled you can layer it with whipped cream as well.
