Hello folks, well she left me on my own to scoff this weeks delightful dinner time dessert!
Thai Pumpkin Custard Dessert, a delicious sweet Thai coconut custard filling for the noble but bland Pumpkin.
The trick with this recipe is two-fold, fresh Coconut milk and small Pumpkins oh and follow Khwanjais recipe to the letter until you get the hang of this one or (as she says) culinary disasters will abound!
The fact is this is not a quick and/or easy recipe but the rewards are worth every bit of effort you invest in this wonderful Pumpkin Dessert Recipe
