Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup of the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

  • When the milk is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the sugar-milk mixture, stirring constantly. Return to medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a simmer and is thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
  • Divide the pudding among four to six 1/2-cup ramekins or serving glasses, layering each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the gingersnaps. Top with additional cookies. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.
