How to Make Pumpkin Pudding Budin De Calabaza

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10x6x2 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, flour, melted butter, cinnamon, salt, and cloves until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs and whisk until well combined.
  4. Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Place the baking pan in a larger 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
  7. Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan until it reaches about 1 inch up the sides of the smaller pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  8. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pudding to set.
  11. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the rum (if using) until soft peaks form.
  12. Spoon the chilled pumpkin pudding into 8 dessert dishes.
  13. Top each serving with a dollop of the whipped cream mixture. Serve and enjoy!
