One of my favorite recipe that requires pumpkin puree is this – soft pumpkin cookies with dark chocolate. A few days ago I cut my last pumpkin. It’s huge and to be sure that I don’t have to through it away I need to cook something, that requires pumpkin or… imagine it will be good (or at least not worth) together with pumpkin.
Pumpkin sweets go well with chocolate, so why not drizzle 🙂

They look good. Is pumpkin puree something you make or buy? I’ve never seen such a thing.

Make! I have pumpkin to “finish”. So one way is steam pumpkin and then blend, another one is to put in oven for 40 minutes and then blend 🙂 That is what I call pumpkin puree!
