Instructions

Blend Ingredients: To a blender, add the plant-based milk, silken tofu, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend for 10 to 15 seconds until the tofu is completely creamed and the mixture is smooth.
Cook the Mixture: Transfer the blended mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring it to a light boil, then add the ground cinnamon and cornstarch, stirring well to combine.
Simmer and Thicken: Reduce the heat to a simmer and whisk continuously until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency, which should take a few minutes.
Cool the Pudding: Pour the thickened pudding into individual bowls or a large airtight container. Let it cool at room temperature before chilling.
Chill: Refrigerate the pudding for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set firmly.
Serve: Serve the pudding cold, optionally topped with vegan whipped cream for added richness and presentation.

Notes

Adjust the sweetness to your preference by increasing or reducing the amount of brown sugar.
Use plain pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, to control sweetness and spice levels accurately.
Make this pudding ahead of time since it requires chilling to set the best texture and deepen flavor, ideally overnight.
