Source of Recipe
Original recipe from the Chef at Worldwide Recipes; adapted by BL Olson
List of Ingredients
4 to 6 lb (2 to 3 kg) pumpkin
6 eggs
2 cups (500 ml) coconut milk or rich's liquid for whipping
1/2 cup (125 ml) brown sugar
2 tsp (10 ml) molasses
1/2 tsp (2 ml) freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2 ml) allspice
1/4 tsp (1 ml) powdered ginger
2 Tbs (30 ml) CF margarine
Recipe
Remove the top of the pumpkin and scrape out the seeds and membranes as though you were making a jack-o'lantern.
Mix the remaining ingredients together except the margarine and pour into the pumpkin. Top with the margarine, replace the lid of the pumpkin and place in a large baking dish covered in foil or parchment for easy clean-up.
Bake at 350F (180C) for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the mixture has set.
Serve from the pumpkin at the table, scraping a little of the pumpkin flesh to accompany each serving.
Serves 6 to 8.
