Praparations

• First, soak the sheet gelatin in cold water to soften it. If using powdered gelatin, combine the powder with 1 tablespoon of water and let it hydrate.
• Remove the skin and seeds from the pumpkin, as well as the stringy parts, and heat it in the microwave until it becomes soft.

PUMPKIN PUDDING

1. Combine the softened pumpkin and granulated sugar, and mix them together.
2. Add milk and heavy cream to the mixture, and continue to mix until well combined.
3. After draining excess water from the softened gelatin (or if using powdered gelatin, including the water it was mixed with), melt the gelatin in the microwave until it becomes liquid. To prevent the gelatin from solidifying when added directly to the pudding mixture, take about 1 tablespoon of the pudding mixture and mix it with the melted gelatin. Then, add this mixture back into the main pudding mixture.
4. Strain the pudding mixture and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. As a finishing touch, add sugar and vanilla to the whipped cream, then top the chilled pumpkin pudding with this sweetened whipped cream. Enjoy!
