Pumpkin Pudding
Sunday, October 4th, 2009I think pumpkin is starting to run through my veins, I’ve been eating so much of it. Flavorful pumpkin oatmeal for breakfast, and now onto creamy pumpkin pudding for dessert. I’m definitely making sure that I soak up every bit of these Fall flavors while I can!
After a delicious dinner of whole wheat pesto vermicelli with slow cooked lemon pepper chicken (recipe to come tomorrow!), I realized that within my pantry I had the ingredients to put together a simple pumpkin pudding. And that I did.

For the pudding, I had a box of Sugar-Free Jello Singles Instant Vanilla Pudding. Individual packets with 60 calories worth of pudding (when mixed), it was the perfect portion. I combined the dry mixture with the following:
- 1/2 cup cold skim milk
- 1 tsp pumpkin butter
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Pinch of cinnamon
.
I mixed all of the ingredients together and popped the bowl in the refrigerator to set up. Meanwhile, I prepared a simple crunchy topping consisting of:
- TJ’s Pumpkin Spice Granola
- Pecans
- Light Maple Syrup
When the pudding had set, I piled the topping in the bowl.
So tasty and comforting…

The perfect treat to cozy up to on the couch while relaxing and watching some Sunday night TV. Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, Mad Men, and The Next Iron Chef. Oh, what to watch, and what to DVR??
