Instructions
Roast the Pumpkin
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Cut a small pie pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds and stringy flesh.
  3. Place the halves cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 45–60 minutes, until the flesh is very soft when pierced with a fork.
  4. Cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and blend or process until smooth. Measure out 1½ cups for the recipe.
Blend the Pumpkin Pudding
  1. In a blender or food processor, combine the pumpkin purée, half-and-half, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, salt, and any optional additions.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice.
Chia Seed Pudding
  1. In a bowl, mix together milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until combined.
  2. Gently stir in chia seeds.
Chill and Serve
  1. Transfer both puddings to separate containers, cover, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to let the flavors develop and the mixture thicken slightly.
  2. Once puddings are chilled, layer with Greek yogurt in between, and enjoy.
