SCD Recipe: Stove Top Pumpkin Pudding

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.

Author Sherry Lipp

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)

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!)
