Ingredients

  • 2 cups 2% milk
  • 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup cornstarch

  • 1 cup pumpkin puree

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, whisk milk, sugar, and cornstarch; bring to a boil. Boil 3 minutes, whisking constantly.

  6. Let cool, and chill for about 30 minutes, or until pudding is set.

Notes

Easier to make than pumpkin pie, this simple pudding is healthy enough to enjoy for breakfast.
