Upside Down Pumpkin Pudding

Comfort Desserts | 0 comments

With some leftover pumpkin in the fridge, and a cold blustery day, I had a craving for a comfort dessert. I have recipes for chocolate and vanilla puddings that you make by pouring water over the top to make a sauce, and I thought, why couldn’t you make something like that with pumpkin. So I searched around and found a recipe which I modified as follows. It hit the spot!
