Step-by-Step Instructions for Pumpkin Pudding
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together one egg and your choice of milk until fully blended and smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and cornstarch, whisking until well integrated.
  3. Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture into the saucepan while stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil on medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and blend together pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
  6. Gradually whisk the pumpkin spice mixture into the thickened base in the saucepan until well combined.
  7. Return the saucepan to low heat and gently warm the mixture for an additional 3–4 minutes.
  8. Spoon the pudding into individual serving dishes and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
