Serves: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup of maple syrup, 1/2 cup of coconut milk, 1 tsp of pumpkin spice, 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp of salt.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree and maple syrup. Use a whisk or a spatula to mix them together until fully blended and smooth.
- Pour in the coconut milk gradually while continuing to whisk the mixture. This will help to incorporate the coconut milk evenly into the pumpkin mixture.
- Add the pumpkin spice, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl. Stir well until all the ingredients are combined and the mixture is creamy.
- Once the pudding is smooth and well combined, taste it and adjust the sweetness if desired by adding a little more maple syrup.
- Prepare serving cups or bowls. You can use small glass jars, ramekins, or any dessert cups you have on hand.
- Evenly distribute the pumpkin pudding mixture into the prepared cups, filling each one about three-quarters full.
- For an extra touch, you can sprinkle a little extra pumpkin spice on top of each cup for garnish.
- Chill the pudding cups in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow them to set slightly and enhance the flavors.
- Serve the Vegan Pumpkin Pudding Cups cold. Enjoy this delicious and creamy dessert as a perfect fall treat or any time of the year!
Tips
- Use high-quality pumpkin puree for the richest flavor - fresh or canned both work, but ensure it's pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Chill your coconut milk beforehand to help the pudding set faster and create a more luxurious texture.
- For extra indulgence, consider topping your pudding cups with: - Crushed graham crackers - Toasted pumpkin seeds - Vegan whipped cream - A sprinkle of cinnamon
- Make these pudding cups ahead of time - they actually taste better after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- For a protein boost, you could blend in some silken tofu or add a scoop of vegan vanilla protein powder.
