Chocolate and Pumpkin Cream with No Added Sugar

This chocolate cream is a surprising dessert that makes use of the pumpkin's natural sweetness and silky texture. It is an ideal option for those looking for a sweet but balanced treat, as it contains no egg and skips traditional added sugars. To achieve the perfect sweetness, we will use Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 by Castelló.

Technical Data Sheet

• Estimated time: 27 minutes

• Difficulty: ⭐⭐

• Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

• ½ liter of plant-based drink (oat, rice, or soy)

• 250g of pumpkin (roasted or cooked)

• 40g of Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 by Castelló

• 40g of unsweetened pure cocoa powder

• 45g of fine cornflour

• 1 vanilla pod

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Base infusion: Heat most of the plant-based drink in a saucepan with the vanilla pod split in half. Set aside a little cold liquid to dissolve the flour.

2. Thickener mix: Dissolve the fine cornflour and pure cocoa powder in the cold plant-based drink you set aside, making sure there are no lumps.

3. Adding the pumpkin: Blend the pumpkin (previously roasted or cooked) with a blender until you get a smooth puree. Add it to the saucepan along with the Stevia + Eritrytol 1:1 by Castelló when the plant-based drink is hot.

4. Cooking and thickening: Remove the vanilla pod and pour the cocoa and fine cornflour mixture into the saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a whisk until the cream thickens and begins to bubble slightly.

5. Resting: Divide the cream into individual cups or small bowls. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours so it fully sets.

6. Final touch: You can serve it plain or top it with some chopped nuts or a little shredded coconut just before serving.
