This is a simple and delicious recipe — only 5 ingredients. You can make this dessert in no time. This will satisfy the sweet tooth!
Serves 3 people.
Ingredients
– a small pumpkin or squash, I used butternut squash
– 1/2 cup coconut milk
– 2 tbsp coconut flakes
– 6-7 dates
– 1 tbsp chia seeds
Feel free to adjust the amounts of ingredients as you like. I might skip the chia seeds next time. And adding more dates will make the custard sweeter.
Directions
– Wash and cut the top off squash. Using a spoon, clean the inside and give it a rinse.
– Put the remaining ingredients in a blender, and select chop or grate, so you finish with a coarse blend. The dates should be be in small chunks.
– Pour the mixture into the cleaned squash. Bring the mixture up to about an inch under the rim of the squash. Doing so will prevent the mixture from overflowing when you steam it.
– Put the filled squash into the steamer and steam for 30-40 mins. Dessert will be done when toothpick poked into squash comes out clean.
Serve
Let the custard cool at room temperature and cut into slices to serve. You can eat the skin of the pumpkin or squash as well.
Enjoy!!
