Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • Whisk

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground all-spice

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and salt until completely smooth.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle, low bubble. Stir constantly for 3 to 5 minutes to cook out the raw pumpkin flavor and let the spices infuse into the dairy.
