Pumpkin Pudding + Simple + Healthy

This pumpkin pudding recipe is perfect when you have leftover cans or aseptic boxes of prepared pumpkin! Agar-agar is used as a vegan substitute for gelatin.  It’s produced from seaweed. The recipe is a “tad-sweet” so if you like it “really sweet” then add more maple syrup. PLANT-BASED+DAIRY
