🍽️ How to Make It (Step-by-step)
Step 1: Roast the pumpkin
Chop 500 g (1 lb) of pumpkin and roast at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes, or use an air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 20 minutes.
✨ Use a sweet variety like Hokkaido or butternut for the best flavour.
Step 2: Melt the chocolate
Break 150 g (5.3 oz) of 85% dark chocolate into pieces and melt using a double boiler.
✨ You can also microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between.
Step 3: Blend and mix
Mash or blend the roasted pumpkin until smooth. Combine with the melted chocolate and stir in a handful of chopped walnuts.
✨ Optional: add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra depth.
Step 4: Chill and enjoy
Spread the mixture in a lined dish and refrigerate for 1–2 hours. Slice and decorate with extra nuts or a drizzle of melted chocolate.
✨ Store in the fridge for a fudgy, chewy texture.
