- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- A pinch of salt
- Whipped cream (for topping, optional)

Instructions
-
Prepare the pumpkin mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and salt. Stir well to combine.
-
Microwave: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds to prevent the mixture from overflowing.
-
Check consistency: Once the mixture thickens to a custard-like texture, remove it from the microwave.
-
Serve: Allow the dessert to cool slightly, then top with whipped cream, chopped nuts, or chocolate chips if desired. Enjoy warm or chill in the fridge for later.
Notes
- You can use canned pumpkin puree for convenience, but fresh pumpkin yields the best flavor.
- Customize this recipe by adding a touch of maple syrup for extra sweetness or a few dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
