I made pumpkin pie pudding as much for the flavor as for the alliteration. I’m a kitchen poet.
Which is the lamest kind of poet you could ever aspire to be.
But this isn’t about me. It’s about pumpkin pie pudding, which is exactly what it sounds like, pudding that tastes like pumpkin pie. No surprises here. Except how easy this is to make.
Can you stir? Good. You have all the skills you’re gonna need to make this then. And it’s a good one too. You’re gonna want to make this for friends. Don’t tell them it’s really easy. Lie to your friends.
I’m just kidding. Don’t lie to your friends. That’s not friendly.
Pumpkin Pie Pudding, serves 5-6.
1 large box vanilla pudding mix (and any additional ingredients needed, like 3 cups milk)
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
2-3 cups whipped cream (fresh or cool whip, whatever)
2 cups ground up ginger snap cookies
First make the pudding. Follow the box directions. After cooking, whisk in the pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Refrigerate until cold.
While you wait for the pudding to cool off, you can make the whipped cream (or use store bought, either way) and grind up the ginger snap cookies. The fastest way to grind up the cookies is in a food processor. A good blender would probably work pretty well too.
Once the pudding is cold, layer everything into cups. Put ground ginger snap cookies first, then pudding, then more cookies, more pudding, then the whipped cream on top. You can garnish with a cinnamon stick if you’re really fancy.
You can make the pudding a day or two ahead of time and assemble before serving if you’re making these for friends. Or eat them all yourself over the course of two or three days. I won’t judge. Live your life. xo. Emma

I just can’t get over how much I love Emma’s writing style. Everyone who writes for ABM is charming, but Emma is just hilarity. I laugh out loud every time I read one of her posts, and I can always tell immediately when it’s one of hers (okay, so if they’re posts about food it’s a pretty solid guess anyway, but still!). Another clever idea, another delightful read. Well played food poet Emma! Way to live your life.
It sure looks good. Perfect for a busy week day:)
I like that it “out of a box” with a homemade touch!
I used to Feel guilty buying all ready made treats. But then after a long day work… It’s really is ok:)
How cute! This looks so easy and very delicious!

I think a kitchen poet is the BEST kind of poet you can be. Any poetry involving delicious food is good in my book!
PS – So fun meeting you in Nashville!

The Internet is International but your recipe is not. Brand names like “Jello” are not available in other countries, neither is “pumpkin pie spice” nor gingersnap cookies (or even pumpkin puree in a can). That does not mean that people outside the US cannot make good things to eat, but you must give us generic names for things instead of brand names.
Ahhhh! I love pumpkin pie! This sounds so incredibly tasty, that I just have to try it! Thank you for posting.
you can make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger and allspice or cloves! there are recipes online.
I’m loving all the pumpkin recipes out there right now! This is definitely the next one I’m gonna try!
Thanks for sharing!

How should I adjust the recipe if I cannot find a large-sized box of Jello pudding?
Hi Leslie! Check the front of the box for the amount of servings. You can buy two small boxes if needed, or just make a smaller amount with one box π -Jacki
Looks so yummy! x

Glad it is pumpkin season. I am ready for fall.
Hi Emma!
It’s the second time I wanna try a pumpkin based recipe of yours and i see you’re using pumpkin puree but we don’t have that here in France so i wanted to ask you if you could tell me how to make it from a pumpkin? What should i add?
Thanks a lot!!
This looks so delicious! I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin, but I still think I’d enjoy this!
