Pumpkin Latté

This recipe is originally from the US where canned pumpkin is used in most cases.  We recommend using fresh pumpkin and cutting into 2-3cm pieces and steaming until tender. 

With white chocolate chips, and holiday spices, this creamy, full-flavoured indulgence is a luxurious dessert when entertaining a crowd or enjoying a quiet evening for two. Top with whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg.
