This gelatin-free pumpkin dessert is quick, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Let’s get to work! You’ll need:
Ingredients
- 500 g pumpkin
- 100 g sugar
- Juice of half a lemon
- 9 g agar agar
- 50 ml of water
Procedure
- Pumpkin Preparation: Cook the pumpkin until it is soft and you can easily mash it.
- Mix Ingredients: Place the crushed pumpkin in a pot, add the sugar and lemon juice.
- Add Agar Agar: Dissolve the agar agar in 50 ml of water and add to the pumpkin mixture.
- Cook the Mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for about 4 minutes. This time is enough for the agar agar to activate its gelling effect.
- Cool and Serve: Pour the mixture into a pan and let it cool until firm. You can refrigerate it to take on a better consistency.
Councils
- Perfect Consistency: It is important to follow the cooking times, since agar agar needs at least 4 minutes of boiling to activate its properties.
- Custom Flavor: If you want to give it a special touch, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture.
- Refrigeration: Although not necessary, refrigerating the dessert after it cools helps achieve a firmer, more refreshing texture. This pumpkin dessert can last 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator, as long as it’s stored in an airtight container. Using agar agar helps to maintain the firm consistency, but it is important to refrigerate it to prevent it from losing freshness or changing texture.
