I made this for the first time this year for Thanksgiving and it fit in perfectly with the holiday menu. Great change of pace from that old pumpkin pie. I got the recipe from a Taste of Home book. Rave reviews is what I got and requests for the recipe. Serve warm with a little whipped cream and decorate with half of a gingersnap cookie and you have a great thing going on! Do not use the cake mix with pudding.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup pure pumpkin puree
About 3/4 cup crushed gingersnaps

Steps:

  • Bring 1 cup of the milk to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk in the remaining 1 cup milk a little at a time to avoid lumps, then whisk in the egg.
  • When the milk is boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually whisk in the sugar-milk mixture, stirring constantly. Return to medium-low heat and cook, whisking constantly, until the pudding comes to a simmer and is thick and creamy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the pumpkin puree.
  • Divide the pudding among four to six 1/2-cup ramekins or serving glasses, layering each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the gingersnaps. Top with additional cookies. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until fully set, about 2 hours.

PUMPKIN CHEESE TARTS WITH GINGERSNAP CRUST



Pumpkin Cheese Tarts with Gingersnap Crust image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups finely chopped gingersnaps (about 60)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 pound cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of allspice
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup pureed pumpkin
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • To make the crust: Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In a mixing bowl, combine the gingersnap crumbs with the melted butter and toss together until the mixture clumps together. Add an additional tablespoon of butter if necessary. Pat the mixture into the base and slightly up the sides of eight 4 1/2inch tartlet pans. Bake for about 7 minutes, or until crisp.
  • To make the filling: Press the grated ginger against the mesh of a fine sieve into a small bowl, pressing hard to extract all the juice. Set the ginger juice aside and discard the pulp. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ground cloves, and salt. Beat until creamy and well combined, then add the ginger juice and the pumpkin puree and beat again. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after you add the first one, but do not over beat the mixture. Pour the filling into the tart pans and return them to the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is just firm to the touch. Cool to room temperature, then chill for up to 2 hours or overnight before serving.

  • Use fresh ginger for the best flavor. Peel and grate it yourself for the best results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
