This Mama Cooks tips for making Gluten Free Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pudding
I wanted to make this slow cooker pumpkin pie pudding recipe as easy as possible, so I used canned pumpkin puree. If you want to make pumpkin puree from scratch, check out Four Ways to Cook Fresh Pumpkin.
I used canned coconut milk since it’s a bit thicker than the kind you buy to drink. You can find it in the Asian food aisle at your Kroger store. I chose the full fat coconut milk instead of the “lite” version for this slow cooker pumpkin pudding recipe though I’m sure the “lite” version would work, too. (Use any leftover coconut milk in a smoothie or on your morning cereal.)
You can use your favorite gluten free caking mix for this slow cooker pumpkin pudding recipe. I used Betty Crocker Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix, which is in the baking aisle.
Since I wanted this slow cooker pumpkin dessert recipe to be both gluten free and dairy free, I used Guillard semi-sweet baking chocolate chips. Enjoy Life Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mini Chips, also sold at Kroger in the health food section, is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free. Both brands taste and cook up great!
Since I wanted to keep dairy free and vegan, I used Earth Balance in my Gluten Free Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pudding recipe. You can find this in the refrigerated case of the health food section at Kroger.
I used vanilla So Delicious ice “cream.” My favorites are the soy milk and coconut milk varieties. Gluten Free Slow Cooker Pumpkin Pudding Print
