Simple Brazilian pumpkin coconut dessert paired with queso fresco and bread, using only 5 ingredients.
Ingredients:
  • 1 (2 pound) fresh pumpkin, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened dried coconut
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over low heat, blend pumpkin with sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until pumpkin is very soft, approximately 30 minutes. Stir in coconut, then remove from heat. Either use a potato masher to break down large pumpkin pieces or leave slightly chunky. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Refrigerate in a covered container.
