Pumpkin dessert

40 minutes
Pumpkin dessert is a light and aromatic treat from European cuisine. Tender pumpkin baked with coconut flour, egg, and orange zest creates an amazingly airy texture and subtle exotic flavor. Historically, pumpkin has been widely used in sweet dishes due to its natural sweetness and velvety consistency. This dessert is perfect for a cozy autumn evening with a cup of fragrant tea. Its convenience in simple preparation and natural ingredients makes it not only delicious but also a healthy treat. The delicate pumpkin balls are slightly crispy on the outside and soft inside, melting in your mouth, while the citrus notes of orange add freshness to the dessert. A wonderful option for those who appreciate light and natural sweets.
