Pumpkin Rice Pudding adds pumpkin and real maple syrup to a classic recipe! You will love this Fall themed variation, promise.

I made some Pumpkin Rice Pudding. That’s right, pumpkin. This takes 30 minutes or so to make and tastes divine. It makes a perfect afternoon snack and would probably make a delightful dessert too.

Ingredients for Pumpkin Rice Pudding

You’re 9 simple ingredients away from enjoying a comforting and spiced Pumpkin Rice Pudding. Here’s what you need:

• Butter and Arborio Rice – butter coats each big grain of Arborio rice! So good! I highly highly recommend this rice for any type of rice pudding you’re making.
• Fat-Free Milk – feel free to use cream or half and half instead of fat-free milk. Whatever you want, I will support. I probably would have used cream, but didn’t have any on hand.
• Pumpkin Puree – this is just regular canned pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling.
• Maple Syrup – use real maple syrup here! When I mean real, check the ingredients on the back of the bottle. There should be very little ingredients or just one (maple syrup)!
• Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, and Salt – these seasonings go into the mixture to complement the pumpkin.

Toppings

I like to top my Pumpkin Rice Pudding with mini chocolate chips but feel free to top with whatever you like. Here are a few ideas:

• nuts
• baked pumpkin seeds
• dusting of cinnamon
• granola
• homemade whipped cream
