We've never seen a cuter or more festive dessert than this one for kids. Velvety pumpkin pudding is served inside miniature, hollowed pumpkins and topped with whipped cream and cinnamon-sprinkled pastry leaves.

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 small pumpkins (about 1/2 pound each)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup firmly packed dark-brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup Pumpkin Puree, or canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup heavy cream
Puff-Pastry Leaves, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut tops off pumpkins; scoop out and discard seeds. In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle inside pumpkins, and replace pumpkin tops. Place on a baking sheet, and bake until tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool.
  • Combine brown sugar and cornstarch in a large heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Add half-and-half, egg yolks, molasses, and salt; cook, whisking constantly, until mixture starts to thicken. Add the water in a slow stream, whisking constantly. Stir in pumpkin puree; cook until very thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
  • When ready to serve, whip cream to soft peaks. Serve pudding in baked pumpkins topped with whipped cream and garnished with Puff-Pastry Leaves, if desired.
