Pumpkin desserts are all the rage these days. From classic pumpkin pie, to pumpkin cheesecake. Give people their pumpkin desserts and they will be happy. At least for the months of September through December.
Pumpkin pie is probably my all time favorite pumpkin dessert. The flakey crust, the creamy pumpkin filling, the whipped coconut cream. Well, until these little bowl of pumpkin pie pudding goodness came into my life. Seriously, friends. I could (and would) eat this dessert every. single. day.
It all starts with my recipe for pumpkin pudding. Easy peasy. Made with coconut milk, of course. The texture is so perfect and well, a dream come true really. Now, you could just make the pudding, forgetting about the gingersnaps and So Delicious Cocowhip. But I beg you to put all three together in these individual pumpkin pie pudding cups. The gingersnap cookie crumble on the bottom, topped with the pumpkin pudding and then that fabulous Cocowhip. It’s everything you ever dreamed of in every bite.
