Ingredients

1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree

2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups low-fat milk

1 package (3.5 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix

Directions

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Stir until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the pumpkin.

  3. Gradually pour in the low-fat milk while stirring continuously to ensure the mixture blends smoothly without lumps.

  4. Add the instant vanilla pudding mix to the pumpkin mixture and stir constantly for approximately 2 minutes until the pudding thickens to a creamy consistency.

  5. Divide the pudding into serving bowls or containers and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and flavors to meld.

This pudding hits three of the five criteria cleanly: every ingredient is stocked at any Charlotte chain, the cost per serving runs under $1 (pumpkin and pudding mix are rock-bottom items), and it genuinely takes 70 minutes only because you need to chill it, not because of any real prep work. The household fit is excellent for a weeknight dessert that families can make together, and it reheats poorly but doesn't need to since it's meant cold. The only small friction is that pumpkin pie spice is a seasonal item that shops stock heavily September through November but thin out afterward, so timing matters if you're shopping in summer.
