Ingredients

Scale

Pumpkin Pudding Base

  • 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin
  • 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup biscuit/baking mix
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 21/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Toppings (Optional)

  • Sweetened whipped cream
  • Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, biscuit/baking mix, beaten eggs, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  2. Grease the Slow Cooker: Lightly grease a 3-quart slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
  3. Transfer Mixture and Cook: Pour the prepared pumpkin pudding mixture into the greased slow cooker. Cover with the lid and cook on low heat setting for 6 to 7 hours. Check with a thermometer to ensure the pudding reaches 160°F, confirming it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  4. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the slow cooker insert. Spoon the pudding into serving dishes. If desired, top each serving with sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent touch.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker model; checking the internal temperature with a thermometer ensures perfect doneness.
  • Using biscuit or baking mix helps to thicken the pudding, but self-rising or plain flour can be used with a pinch of baking powder.
  • For a richer flavor, substitute evaporated milk with half-and-half or light cream, adjusting sugar accordingly.
  • This pudding can be served warm straight from the slow cooker or chilled in the refrigerator for a firmer texture.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
