Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 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

Directions

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.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/05/2011   I made just the pudding without putting it in the pumpkins and it was way too salty. I agree with shamis-just a pinch of salt or none at all would suffice.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/05/2008   I just tried to make this and it seems a bit runny. For the people who have made this already, how long did you let it cook before adding the water? How thick was it?  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/02/2008   It calls for a TB of salt way to much. It only needs a pinch or a 1/2 tsp.
