Creamy Pumpkin Rice Pudding (Kasha)

One of my favorite fall flavors from my childhood is pumpkin kasha, as we called it. Back then it was a very basic recipe consisting of a large pumpkin, rice, and milk. The kids had to help with peeling and chopping up the impossibly hard pumpkin which was then cooked in water along with the rice. Since then, I’ve simplified the process, added fragrant spices and turned it into a dairy-free meal! My preference is to use Kabocha pumpkins which I cut in half and roast in the oven, eliminating the need to chop and peel it. Follow the easy step by step recipe to make your own pumpkin puree. Serve it with maple syrup, pumpkin seeds or pecans for a delicious breakfast or as a side dish for your next family meal. If you don’t like coconut flavor use any other milk of your choice.
