INGREDIENTS

• 150g fresh kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) with peel&seeds removed

2. Place the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl with the kabocha. Using a hand blender, mix until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture evenly into 4-5 heat-resistant cups and cover the top of each cup with tinfoil.

5. Turn the heat off and leave the cups in the pan with the lid on for 15-20 minutes.
6. Take the cups out of the pot and set to cool. Chill in the refrigerator if you prefer a cooler pudding. For a sweeter taste, drizzle with maple syrup.
