• portions: 6 servings
• temps actif: 15 minutes
• temps total: 15 minutes

Ingrédients

½ cup (110 g) packed light or dark brown sugar (or ¾ cup coconut sugar)

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons (17 g) cornstarch

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon turmeric (optional, mostly for color)

⅛ teaspoon allspice

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

1 ½ cups (355 ml) whole milk

½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream

½ cup (125 g) unsweetened pumpkin puree (preferably homemade)

½ vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped (or ½ teaspoon vanilla extract added with the butter)

1 teaspoon packed finely grated fresh ginger (or ½ teaspoon ground ginger, added with the other spices)

2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter

1 cup whipped mascarpone

optional: toasted pecans, pumpkin seeds, and/or buckwheat groats

Instructions

In a large saucepan, whisk together the brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, turmeric, allspice, and salt until combined.

Whisk in the milk, cream, pumpkin puree, vanilla bean and scrapings, and ginger.

Place the pot over medium heat and gradually bring to a boil, whisking constantly and making sure to scrape the bottom and corners of the pan with the whisk. You’ll have to stop whisking for a few seconds to verify that the pudding is boiling, which you’ll know by the big bubbles that pop gloopily.

Once the mixture comes to a boil, continue cooking and whisking for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, and whisk in the butter. It should be the consistency of creamy yogurt.

Strain the hot pudding through a mesh strainer and into a large measuring pitcher, then divide the hot pudding among 6 (4-ounce) heatproof cups or jars. Cover the puddings and chill until set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 or 3 days.

Make the whipped mascarpone and chill until needed.

Serve the puddings topped with a plume of whipped mascarpone and a dusting of toasted buckwheat, pecans, and/or pumpkin seeds. Bojon appétit!
