Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 can pumpkin puree (15 ounces)
- 1 can evaporated milk (12 ounces)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Optional
- Whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the pudding from sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and melted unsalted butter to the pumpkin mixture and whisk until fully incorporated and the batter is uniform in texture.
- Cook the Pudding: Pour the prepared batter into the greased slow cooker and spread it evenly. Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or until the pudding is set around the edges and slightly soft in the center.
- Rest Before Serving: Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding rest uncovered for 15 minutes to allow it to firm up slightly.
- Serve: Spoon the pudding into bowls and optionally top with whipped cream. Enjoy warm for a softer texture or chill it for a firmer consistency.
Notes
- Avoid lifting the lid frequently during cooking to maintain even heat and proper setting.
- Serve warm for a softer pudding texture, or refrigerate to enjoy a firmer consistency.
- For added flavor and texture, sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top before serving.
