Roasting Pumpkins!
Well to be honest I really didn’t plan on roasting any pumpkins this year. I was just gonna buy my pumpkin in the can and just pour mix and bake. When we had pumpkins uncarved and still in great shape from Halloween I figured why not? These aren’t sugar pumpkins, but who cares its pumpkin and besides I did it last year and it made great pies! I plan on making pumpkin bread and mousse, not just pies. I love pumpkin it’s so freaking good! I figure I can just sweeten up the pumpkin with sugar and cook it up with the eggs, milk and spices just like normal but instead of baking, I’ll heat up all ingredients except the eggs. I’ll temper the yolks only into it, so it will cook up a little thicker, I may have to use a little cornstarch or flour too. I’m just not sure as of yet. I guess it depends on how much liquid it produces while cooking. Anyways you will see the results eventually 🙂
To make the mousse I’ll use the thicken cooled pumpkin I cooked with all the ingredients mixed in. I will whip some heavy whipping cream and fold the two together and it will be mousse, we hope! LOL 🙂
Baked 325 degrees for an hour and a half or 375 degrees for 1 hour. It cooks a bit darker at 375 degrees, but either way they are good!
Here are the photos so far of the pumpkin.

I love cooking but when it comes to baking I really have no idea about it. I’m looking forward to see your finish product on your pumpkin.

I’m very thrilled to try what would it taste like when it is roasted, the seeds i’m addicted but not haven’t tried the roasted pumpkin itself.
