Last fall I made this recipe several times and it was a big hit! So this christmas I replaced the pumpkin puree for plum puree (in the Netherlands you can buy little pots of 125gr fruit & vegetables purees at Albert Heijn babyfood department, tip!!) and the pumpkin spice mix for a star anise for a winter edition and everyone enjoyed it very much! Also really simple to prepare on forehand, so stress-free christmas proof!! Thank you for this lovely recipe!

That was easy to make and very good!! It took me a bit longer for the pumpkin puree because I can't buy canned one where I live, but as I was making the pumpkin gnocchi as well, I turned a big pumpkin into lots of purée that I strained and used for both recipes!
I'll definitely make it again! On your app I generally prefer the salty dish to the desserts, but when I find a dessert recipe I like it's always so good!

Ohh so lovely to hear, Nohya! Such a smart idea to make your own pumpkin purée and use it for both recipes 🥰 And I’m so happy the dessert won you over this time 🙌

Any advice on how to achieve this if you don’t own a kitchen torch? Thank you 🙏

Hi Johanna! This is also lovely without the bruléed top. It's basically a pumpkin panna cotta or pudding. You can try and use the broiler setting on your oven to get a caramelized top, but we would suggest that if you don't have a torch, make a batch of caramel shards (we have a recipe here: https://www.pickuplimes.com/r… ), and use that as topping instead. You'll miss out on "cracking" the top, but you will still get the crunch and caramel flavour. We hope you get to try the recipe!

Thank you for the tips! I’ll definitely give that a try ❤️
Love you recipes and the app btw ❤️‍🔥
