Last weekend I did do a from scratch item. Not a whole meal, but just something I was looking to make since Thanksgiving time. I thought pudding would be a nice thing to try from scratch. I have only made pudding from the instant mix (I don’t actually eat it that often) and this recipe made it seem really easy…which it was.
I knew I had to make this recipe when I saw it because I was already thinking of pumpkin custard. This pudding seemed close enough.
My only concern was the use of fat free instead of 1% milk. Sometimes the commissary just does not have exactly what you need so improvising and being flexible is key.
I followed the directions and heated the milk.
Then I added the pumpkin.
Next thing I knew it was ready to go into little dessert cups and be chilled for eating later on.
This was delicious. I think the fat free milk did make it a little thinner than I would have expected but that didn’t stop me from eating it!
QUESTIONS: What is your favorite kind of pudding? Have you ever made pudding from scratch? What is your favorite way to enjoy pumpkin?

No, I have never made pudding from scratch, but it's been on my "list" forever!!! Your pumpkin pudding sounds great! I love just a little bit of pumpkin butter in my oatmeal... :-)
oh yum love pumpkin recipes
I just made some chocolate pudding last week and hope to post it this coming week. I love pudding, but no longer eat the boxed kind. I think it's worth effort to make it from scratch, much creamier. I need to try pumpkin!
my last pudding attempt failed! accidentally bought this organic one and then it never set. oh dear. but this look scrumptious ; )
