Kabocha Pumpkin Pudding

After a simple dinner of sashimi with leftovers, we moved on to the highlight of the night: pumpkin pudding. I was looking for a different way to eat some kabocha pumpkin, and decided to try a very simple and healthy looking pudding recipe. The only ingredients were kabocha, milk, gelatin, water, and sugar. Maybe I should have followed the amounts of each ingredient more carefully, because I used a lot more pumpkin than indicated, and our resulting pudding was quite thick. Actually the texture and taste were almost like the filling of a pumpkin pie. Our little dish of pumpkin was so dense that by the time we each finished that tiny cup, we were surprisingly stuffed. Our next goal is to make a not-so-dense version of purple sweet potato pudding.
