Thai Stewed Pumpkin Dessert

Thai Stewed Pumpkin Dessert is a simple and quick Thai #Vegan dessert that is perfect to utilize winter pumpkin. Any sweet pumpkin like calabaza or kabocha can be used.

I was so happy to pick up this theme for this month’s BM as I had suggested it to Valli because I love desserts made with pumpkin and sweet potatoes. This is also my submission this week for Srivalli’s Cookbook Cooking Challenge. Boy, you wonder how she has the time to manage all these blogging events!

I had just gone to a local farm (Alstede Farms) where I picked fresh tomatoes, beans, apples and pumpkins, so I used American sweet pumpkin in this recipe adapted from Greatest Ever Thai Cookbook by Judy Bastyra & Becky Johnson. However, kabocha or calabaza pumpkin would more traditionally be used in Thailand, where this recipe is from.

Let’s check out some other Thai recipes before we get to this delicious sweet!
