    This creamy, lightly-sweetened pudding is a perfect dessert option for pumpkin pie season – all the familiar spices and flavors, but without a crust to worry about.

    Pumpkin pie pudding served in red bowls.

    It’s simple to make, and you can make it well ahead of time in case you’ll be busy after dinner: it needs an hour or two to chill in the fridge anyway. The tapioca starch gives you a thick, pudding-like texture, and the almond (or coconut) milk makes it creamy even without any dairy at all.

    Nutritionally, this is also a good choice for dessert, because it doesn’t rely on a whole lot of nuts (which can be irritating to the digestive system and also high in Omega-6 fats), and it’s even based on a vegetable.

    Pumpkin is high in iron, and Vitamins A, C, E, and K; it also has quite a bit of magnesium. And the fat in the egg yolk and the “milk” helps you absorb all that good stuff.

    Top it off with some chopped nuts and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon, or go a little crazy with the whipped coconut milk cream (you can get instructions here if you don’t know how to make it).
