How to make a delicious keto pumpkin puree
It’s finally that cozy season of the year, fall is in the air and in our taste buds, from the yellow falling leaves to everything flavored with pumpkin spice.
To make the Keto pumpkin sauce, you need to make the pumpkin puree first.
The making of pumpkin puree is so easy. The first step depends on how big the pumpkin size is. If the pumpkin is small, you will cut the pumpkin into 2 halves. Use a spoon to remove the seeds and the pulp from the pumpkin. In case the pumpkin size is big, you need to make a hole in the pumpkin and use a spoon or a ladle to remove the seeds and the pulp, then cut the pumpkin into slices. Flip the halves of the pumpkin or the slices on a pan. Try to Keep the pumpkin skin up, so that you get a good pumpkin roasting color. Put the pan into the oven on 400F degree for around 50 to 60 minutes, this depends on the pumpkin size. After around thirty minutes, flip the slices to get the browning on all sides evenly. Note: if you cut the pumpkin into slices, then after 30 minutes open the oven and flip the wedges.
Now take out the roasted pumpkin, and separate it from the skin using a fork or a spoon, then put it in a different bowl.
Now grab the spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and ginger or you can just add any ready storebought pumpkin spice.
Like your other fall lovers, I adore pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin spice muffins, pumpkin spice everything.
Now that we have our puree, we can transform it into a keto pumpkin sauce using these next steps:
- Add three tablespoons of the pumpkin puree
- Add the heavy cream or any keto milk that you prefer to use, for me I prefer to use the heavy-cream because it gives a more rich taste.
- Add some water, vanilla extract, and substitute sugar, I prefer to use monk fruit, it is my favorite sugar substitute because there is no after taste, especially in desserts.
- Blend the mixture one more time in an electric blender to get the texture you desire.
- Grab a clean and dry squeeze bottles I used those squeeze bottles because I see there big enough and fill it with your sauce!
You can use this sauce any way you like, in your desserts or beverages! Along with its wonderful taste, pumpkin spice brings me to that fall, end of the year state, and this year, it definitely brings me some sense of normalcy!
