I used to always love making pudding when I was growing up, but with SCD it’s hard to do without using corn starch. I like custard, but sometimes I just want to whip up some pudding on the stove without worrying about baking.
I had some left over pumpkin in the fridge and since I had just made custard recently, I thought I would try pudding. Lemon curd served as my inspiration. I figured if eggs could thicken that up, they could thicken regular pudding too. And they did!
This is perfect served yogurt made from whipping cream – if you haven’t had that yet, I totally recommend it.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 1/4 cup plain yogurt (SCD)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- dash sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (SCD) - made with whipped cream (optional)
Servings:
Instructions
- Whisk eggs and honey for two minutes, until eggs are a little foamy and lighten in color a bit
- Add coconut milk, yogurt and pumpkin to a medium sauce pan and heat over medium low heat until it just begins to simmer
- Remove from heat
- Temper the eggs by adding a few tablespoons of the hot pumpkin mixture while whisking briskly
- Slowly add the rest of the pumpkin mixture to the eggs while whisking
- Add mixture back to saucepan
- Stir in spices
- Stir mixture over medium low heat until it thickens - about 10 - 15 minutes. Pudding will thicken as it cools, but this should coat the back of the spoon.
- Pour pudding into four ramekins
- Allow to cool to room temperature
- Chill for two hours before serving
- Whip up whipped cream yogurt with a little honey (or plain) and serve on top of - or stir into for a mousse-like texture - pudding (optional)
Recipe Notes
Use full fat yogurt for best results (you can use the whipped cream yogurt - just don't whip!)
