Cooking Process:
- Combine the sugar, pumpkin puree, cornstarch, and pumpkin pie spice in a saucepan over medium heat.

This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.

Finishing Touches:
- Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. π₯

Serving:
