Written By Karina Strobl

Ingredients

¼ cup unsweetened milk of choice

¼ ounces gelatin

1 2/3 cups canned coconut milk (full fat)

1 cup pureed pumpkin

3 tablespoons maple sugar or syrup

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3 teaspoons maple syrup

3 teaspoons crushed pistachios

Directions

Add milk to a small mixing bowl and whisk. Sprinkle gelatin over top and set aside. Do not mix.

In a small pot over medium-low heat, add the coconut milk, pureed pumpkin, maple sugar or syrup and cinnamon. Whisk to combine. Allow to heat through for 2 to 3 minutes or until warm, not boiling.

Remove the pot from the heat and slowly pour it into the mixing bowl with the gelatin, whisking while you pour.

Place a sieve over the top of 3 small jars and use a large spoon to transfer the pudding mixture into the jars through the sieve.
(The sieve will ensure there are no clumps of gelatin remaining.) Store the jars in the fridge for two hours to set.

When ready to serve, remove jars from fridge, top each with 1 teaspoon maple syrup and 1 teaspoon crushed pistachios.

Enjoy!
