I’m not much of a sweets fan. I prefer savory and crunchy, actually,
but when I wandered across a variation of this dessert bread I thought
that sounds tasty, and I’ll bet I can make it a little more organic and
healthier if I make it with ingredients from Bountiful Baskets. A
challenge in the making. Who could say no to that?
First things first (which is not my norm at all)buy make some pumpkin puree. I guess you could buy it, but hey..... this is Debauchery Kitchen where we create what we can.
Pour 1 1/2 cups batter into the bottom of a 9" (prepared) loaf pan, carefully spread 1/2 the cream cheese filling over the top and cover with another 1 1/2 cup of batter. Bake for 35 - 45 minutes (or until done). Remove, cool and serve.
Super tasty... slightly addictive... not just for the holidays!
First things first (which is not my norm at all)
Ingredients
- one small pumpkin
Instructions
- hollow out pumpkin and cut into sections about the size of your hand
- roast at 375 for 45 - 50 minutes on baking sheet, skin side down
- once cool to the touch (enough to handle) scoop out pumpkin from the skin
- puree in food processor or with hand held blender
- freeze for up to six months or refrigerate up to one week
After this you can mix it up a little. I typically make the batter first, then the filling, but be daring and choose your own path. I don't mind.
