1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
3 large eggs, at room temperature
½ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
3 ounces semisweet chocolate (such as Baker's®), chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix pumpkin puree, eggs, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Set aside.
