Pengat Labu (Pumpkin in Coconut Cream)
Pengat Labu (Pumpkin in Coconut Cream) is a famous sweet dessert among the Nyonya/Peranakan.
This coconut cream dessert which commonly contains pumpkin and tapioca pearls (sago) since today I'm cooking the low-carb version so I have omitted the tapioca pearls.
Who can resist a bowl of creamy pumpkin dessert, it is so versatile that you can have it warm on a rainy day or chill it in the refrigerator and serve it on hot afternoon.
This is one of the always-go-to recipe because I love the creaminess that comes from the coconut cream and softened pumpkin - what a perfect match!
This dessert is really simple to cook, so let's get started!

Cooking takes time, even for a publisher who provides book publishing services at The American Book Publishing. I have too much on my plate to cook for myself. However, now that I've discovered the ideal recipe, I'll try it once a week.
