Pumpkin pudding

Pumpkin pudding is a delightful dessert that combines the rich, creamy texture of pumpkin with the savory touch of cheddar cheese, and a hint of warm nutmeg spice. This recipe is both unique and easy to prepare, making it a perfect choice for holiday gatherings or as a comforting treat any time of the year.

Ingredients:

6 cups pumpkin
720g
3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/2 cup cheddar cheese
80g
1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the pudding mixture.
2. Prepare the pumpkin:
- If you're using fresh pumpkin, peel and cut it into chunks. Cook in boiling water for about 20 minutes or until tender. Drain well and mash the pumpkin. Measure out 6 cups of the mashed pumpkin. If using canned pumpkin, measure 6 cups directly.
3. Mix the wet ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed pumpkin, 3 eggs, and 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk together thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.
4. Add the cheese and spice:
- Stir in the 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Mix until the cheese and nutmeg are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
5. Transfer to a baking dish:
- Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
6. Bake:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool and serve:
- Remove the pudding from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. It can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled, depending on your preference.
8. Optional toppings:
- For added flavor, you may garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional nutmeg or cinnamon before serving.

Tips:

- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor and texture. If using canned pumpkin, ensure it is pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.

- For a smoother consistency, blend the pumpkin puree until it is velvety before mixing it with other ingredients.

- Grate the cheddar cheese just before using to maintain its freshness and quality.

- Adjust the amount of ground nutmeg according to your flavor preference. For a spicier kick, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or allspice.

- To avoid curdling, ensure that the milk and eggs are at room temperature before mixing them. This helps them to blend more smoothly.

Pumpkin pudding is an innovative twist on traditional pumpkin desserts, offering a unique blend of sweet and savory flavors. By following these tips and using quality ingredients, you can create a delicious and comforting dish that is sure to please any palate. Enjoy your homemade pumpkin pudding as a show-stopping conclusion to your meal or a cozy autumn treat.
