*You can use pumpkin pie spice instead of the separate spices (Nutmeg, Ground Cinnamon and Ground Ginger).

**You can use either fresh pumpkin puree or canned pumpkin puree. You can also add more or less depending on your taste.

***If you don't happen to have half and half milk then you can use 1/4 cup heavy cream plus 1/4 cup whole milk.

Enjoy!
