When I got my hands on some of our grandmother’s favorite holiday recipes, I knew this one had to happen.
I swapped all the junk ingredients for real, nourishing food:
– corn oil and margarine for real butter
– canned pumpkin for fresh, roasted pumpkin purée
– packaged cream cheese for my easy one ingredient homemade cream cheese
– organic flour, fermented with sourdough starter
– organic raw sugar
And let me tell you, I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a more delicious pumpkin dessert. The hands on time is minimal, roasting pumpkins for purée, fermenting cream cheese – such simple steps. (I’ve got previous posts showing just how to do both of these!). But the end result is far superior to any shortcut we’ve grown accustomed to. Start putting this much effort and time into your food and see how your health improves. 🫶🏼
You can do a long fermentation or make right away. The longer ferment increases the sour flavor and is a great way to boost the nutrition of an already delicious recipe. But it’s also a great recipe if you want something quick or are short on time, there’s no rise time needed.
It’s so delicious and warm and cozy, perfect for holiday gatherings and sharing with loved ones.
