Preparation method
- Cut off the top of the pumpkin and remove the seeds with a spoon.
- Separate only the pulp, get rid of the skin, and cut it into medium-sized pieces.
- Place the pieces in a large skillet and add the xylitol, cinnamon, cloves, and water.
- Cook over medium heat for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- When the pumpkin is very soft and starts to fall apart, reduce the heat and mash it until it forms a thick cream.
- Add the grated coconut and stir for a few more minutes until it reaches the desired consistency (firmer to chop or creamier to spoon on).
- Transfer to a plate, cover with plastic wrap and let cool completely before serving.
