👉🏻Ingredients list⚠️

• Pumpkin: 200 grams

• Milk: 100-200 milliliters (adjust according to personal taste)

• Glutinous rice flour (optional): 20-25 grams (to increase thickness)

• Water (if using a blender, not needed): as needed

• Honey or sugar (optional): as needed (adjust according to personal taste)

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

1. Peel and seed the pumpkin, then cut it into thin slices or small chunks. Steam for about 20 minutes until tender.

2. Scoop out the steamed pumpkin and place it in a blender or food processor. Add the desired amount of milk and blend until smooth.

3. If you want to increase the thickness, mix the glutinous rice flour with water to form a glutinous rice water mixture. Pour it into the blended pumpkin puree and stir well.

4. Pour the pumpkin mixture into a pot and heat over low fire, stirring constantly to prevent sticking. If you prefer it sweeter, add honey or sugar as needed.

5. Heat until boiling, then remove from heat and garnish with goji berries or other preferred ingredients for added flavor.
