Start to Finish: 1hr (active time 20 min)
Servings: 4-5 cups
INGREDIENTS
150g fresh kabocha (Japanese pumpkin) with peel&seeds removed
150ml whole milk or soy milk
100g silken (kinu) tofu
2 eggs (medium sized)
2 tbsp honey (2 tbsp = 30ml)
2 tbsp sugar (2 tbsp = 30ml)
Optional: maple syrup to serve
Optional: a pinch of cinnamon powder
DIRECTIONS:
Dice the kabocha into 3-5cm cubes. Place the cubes in a microwavable bowl (cover with a lid) and microwave for 3 minutes at 800w.
Place the remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl with the kabocha. Using a hand blender, mix until smooth.
Pour the mixture evenly into 4-5 heat-resistant cups and cover the top of each cup with tinfoil.
Fill a deep, heavy pan with boiling water to 1-2cm deep. Place the cups in the pan and heat with the lid on for 8 minutes at a low setting.
Turn the heat off and leave the cups in the pan with the lid on for 15-20 minutes.
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.
