Ingredients For Pumpkin Pudding

• 5.1 ounces vanilla pudding mix use an instant pudding mix
• 12 ounces evaporated milk canned, this is not the same as sweetened condensed milk. Sweetened condensed milk will cause this recipe to be too sweet.
• 15 ounces pure pumpkin puree – If you use canned pumpkin pie filling instead of just pumpkin, the pudding will be too sweet. You can use homemade pumpkin puree in this recipe but sometimes it can be a little watery homemade. If you use your own pumpkin puree I recommend blotting it with paper towels a little bit.
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice plus extra for garnish, you can use my homemade pumpkin pie spice blend or a storebought mix.
• 2 cups whipped topping like Cool Whip, plus extra for garnish, this really helps to give this easy pumpkin pudding recipe even more of a creamy texture
• 1 cup cinnamon graham crackers crushed

How To Make Pumpkin Pudding

1. Place the instant vanilla pudding mix, evaporated milk and pumpkin puree in a large bowl. With an electric mixer blend until smooth.

2. Add the pumpkin pie spice into the pumpkin mixture and mix until smooth with the electric mixer.

3. Place the whipped topping in with the pudding mixture. Mix the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until just mixed.

4. Split the graham crackers in half. Layer half of the graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of four glasses, followed by dividing half of the pumpkin pudding evenly between the four glasses. Repeat with the rest of the graham crackers and pudding.

5. Refrigerate until ready to serve. When serving, add a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice if desired. Enjoy!

Variation Ideas

• Swap The Graham Crackers – Regular graham crackers can be used, but ginger snaps or vanilla wafers are also delicious added to this pumpkin pudding.
• Add Pecans – Chopped pecans mixed into the graham crackers or on top of the pudding can be really delicious in this easy dessert.
• Sprinkle Chocolate Chips – Add a few chocolate chips on top for a fun and delicious garnish topping on this great recipe.

How Long Will Pumpkin Pudding Last?

Expect these pumpkin puddings will last for 6-7 days in the refrigerator if stored in a covered airtight container or wrapped tightly with plastic wrap. I find they taste best though when eaten within 2-3 days.
