- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 45 min
- Makes: 1 serving (255 g)
- Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
- 180 g Pumpkin, raw
- 40 g Sugar
- 15 g Walnuts
- 20 g Cream, heavy
Method
- Peel and cut the pumpkin into thick chunks, then layer them in a pot with the sugar; there's no need to add water, as the pumpkin releases its own liquid.
- Let sit for 30 minutes so the sugar starts drawing out the juices.
- Bring to a simmer over low heat, then cover and cook gently for 40-45 minutes, without stirring too much, until the pumpkin is completely tender and sitting in a thick, syrupy liquid.
- Let cool to room temperature or chill.
