Ingredients

Units Scale

1 cup rice milk
1/4 cup pumpkin puree

Sugar, to taste
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 to 6 tablespoons corn starch (depending on how thick you like your pudding)

Instructions

In a saucepan, whisk together the rice milk, pumpkin puree, cocoa powder, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and corn starch until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, whisking continuously, until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat.
