Pumpkin for dessert is a delicate and aromatic dish that comes from American cuisine. The recipe is based on soft caramelized pumpkin that combines the sweetness of honey and sugar with a subtle tartness of lemon and the exquisite aroma of vanilla. Walnuts add structure and a pleasant crunch, making the flavor even richer.
