2 cups whole milk
8-ounce pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 cup sugar
1/6 cup cornstarch
pinch of salt
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 to 6 ginger snap cookies

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of the milk, the pumpkin puree, cinnamon, allspice, cloves and ginger. Whisk to combine and then set over medium-low heat and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in the eggs and the remaining 1 cup milk. Whisk half of the hot milk-pumpkin mixture into the egg mixture until smooth, then gradually whisk the egg-milk-pumpkin mixture back into the saucepan. Continue to cook, now over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture boils. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until it has thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and butter. To assemble, layer the cookies and pudding mixture in a serving dish or parfait glasses. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold (at least 2 hours).
