Description
A creamy, comforting Pumpkin Pie Pudding made in a slow cooker, combining warm spices, pumpkin, and a tender biscuit mix base. Perfect for an easy, hands-off dessert that delivers the classic flavors of pumpkin pie without the crust.
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 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
- 2-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Optional: Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, biscuit mix, beaten eggs, melted butter, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or spoon to blend all the ingredients until smooth and evenly combined.
- Prepare the slow cooker: Grease a 3-quart slow cooker with butter or non-stick spray to prevent the pudding from sticking during cooking.
- Transfer and cook: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared slow cooker, spreading it out evenly. Cover with the slow cooker lid securely.
- Cook the pudding: Cook on the low setting for 6 to 7 hours until the pudding is set and a food thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F. This ensures the eggs are fully cooked and the pudding has thickened.
- Serve: Once cooked, let the pudding cool slightly before serving. Optionally, top with sweetened whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a richer dessert experience.
Notes
- Cooking times may vary depending on your slow cooker’s heat settings; start checking for doneness at 6 hours.
- The biscuit mix adds texture and thickness, but you can experiment with different baking mixes if preferred.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop before serving if desired.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute evaporated milk with coconut milk and butter with a plant-based alternative.
