Instructions

Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and cut it into roughly 3 cm cubes.
Put the cubes in a saucepan with 100 ml of water, cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes to soften them.
Add the coconut cream, salt, sugar and white pepper, then stir gently.
Simmer over low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pumpkin is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Check the seasoning and add more sugar or salt to your taste.
Serve warm, mashing a few pieces lightly for a creamier texture.
