Healthier Pumpkin Dessert

Here is my recipe.

FYI, it seems that just about any kind of orange fleshed squash can be used for this recipe.

2 cups or so mashed, cooked pumpkin flesh

1 can coconut milk

2 eggs, beaten (for the B12)

1 teaspoon Suede Hills green stevia powder (+2 tablespoons maple syrup if you must)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground ginger & nutmeg

A dash or two of ground cloves

A pinch or so of salt

Mix all of the ingredients together

then add,

1 handful of raisins

Stir to mix in evenly.

I pour all of that into an greased 9×13 glass cake pan.

I top it with sliced almonds and

baked it at 350 degrees

for about 30 to 35 minutes.

This is especially good with Pear Cream on top!

The recipe for PEAR CREAM

came to us via a vegetarian health retreat here in BC.

We use this instead of whipping cream.

Though the consistency is not exactly the same,

this recipe was a god-send as a vegan.

It is simple and delicious!!

1 large can of pears

1 cup of the pear juice from the can

1 teaspoon Suede Hills green stevia

A pinch of salt

A handful of sliced almonds

Whiz in the Vita Mix for 60 seconds.

Cool in the fridge for 30 minutes or so then enjoy!!

***If you are blessed to have 4 fresh ripe pears

simply replace the canned pears with the fresh ones

and use

1 cup of our Suede Hills green stevia sweet water

to replace the pear juice in the can.

These kind of homemade treats

are far healthier than manufactured desserts.

I know this takes more time,

though the benefits are many.

Slowing down and pouring some love

into homemade goodies

is not only good for your soul

but for those you love, care about and share with.
