Orange Cranberry Pumpkin Pudding

Do you want to know how I came up with this recipe? I was actually making muffins and while I was mixing the wet ingredients together, I tasted it to check the sweetness of it AND I remember thinking. OH GOD THIS IS SO GOOD! I could've just stopped there. But muffins. Besides the oven was preheated already.

Anyways so the next day I make this because you cannot have enough pumpkin in October. I added the orange to give it that extra kick. So even if you think that you don't like orange flavored desserts, I suggest that you give it a try. It really does take it to a whole new level.
