Really yummy! I just whipped this up with fresh made (hot) coconut milk and my own roasted pumpkin puree. We havent fully cut out all conventional foods/sugar and this tastes plenty sweet using 8 figs. I’d use less if our tastebuds were more sensitive to sweet foods as I hope we will be soon. I kinda hope the kids wont eat this so I can savor every bite. This is one of the recipes where you can “eyeball” the measurements and still have successful results.
How easy is that?! Such a great way to get your pumpkin fix.
That sounds delicious and I’ll be trying it soon! Thank you for sharing your recipe. 🙂
I noticed everything seemed scratch/homemade except your canned pumpkin. Organic canned pumpkin is ok, but I’ve started roasted my own pumpkins, and it is AMAZING the quality of flavor! My favorite pumpkin to use is a sweet meat squash, big and light green. My favorite method is to wash the outside, put the whole thing on a baking sheet, and roast in the oven whole for a couple hours, then take it out and break it open (which is easy as pie at this point), scoop out the insides, and if it’s not quite done, put it in for another 30-60 minutes. Roasting it whole saves you the backbreaking and sometimes dangerous task of getting into that pumpkin when it’s raw and hard.
After your pumpkin is done roasting, spoon the flesh into a food processor/blender and then freeze in 2cup bags.
Thanks for the tip! We didn’t get any pumpkins in our garden this year so I’ve been using canned 🙂
