Fragrant pumpkin porridge with coconut is a delicate and cozy dish that combines the sweetness of pumpkin, the creamy texture of milk, and an exotic hint of coconut. This recipe comes from American cuisine, where pumpkin is often used in autumn and winter dishes. The porridge is velvety and slightly sweetened by honey and raisins, while cinnamon adds a warm spicy aroma. An ideal option for breakfast or a light dinner, it warms you up and fills you with energy. It can be served as a standalone dish or with nuts and extra coconut flakes for special texture. It's easy and quick to prepare, and its rich flavor makes you come back to it again and again.
