This amazing pumpkin recipe is like a pumpkin pie without the crust. It's a rich and creamy pudding, perfectly spiced and baked to perfection. Pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) is combined with brown sugar, warm spices, vanilla extract, eggs, and half-and-half until smooth and then baked in a water bath until set. This pumpkin pudding is perfect with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of cinnamon sugar or chopped pecans on top.

Is canned pumpkin made of pumpkin?
Although the label reads "pumpkin," not every brand of canned pumpkin puree is made of pumpkin. Many, including Libby's and One-Pie, use a type of squash that is closer to butternut squash. Because pumpkin is a type of squash, the manufacturers can legally promote the product as pumpkin.
