Ingredients

½ cup (100g) brown sugar or coconut sugar
3 tablespoons (24g) cornstarch
1 ½ cups unsweetened dairy-free milk
1 ¼ cup (300g) pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1 ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (see below for a substitute)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Add brown sugar and cornstarch to a medium saucepan. Whisk until combined and no lumps remain. You may need to break up any lumps with the back of a spoon.
Slowly whisk in milk until combined with dry mixture. Scrape around the corners of the pot with a spoon to be sure no dry ingredients remain. Add pumpkin puree and whisk again until combined.
Place pot on medium-high heat and continuously whisk until mixture has thickened enough to coat a spoon, this will take about 5-7 minutes. (See images above)
Remove pot from the heat and whisk in spices and vanilla. (The pudding will be thickened but still runny at this point, that's okay, it will thicken more when refrigerated.)
Pour pudding into a glass bowl and set aside until it's no longer hot but still warm.
Place plastic wrap on surface of pudding or cool and pass through a sieve to avoid a skin. See info above for more details on this step.
Refrigerate pudding for at least 2 hours so it can set. Serve cold, either plain or with coconut whipped cream.
