Very tasty, I only put in 120 gms of sugar and found that was plenty. The mixture did not thicken as much as I expected but I'm going to serve it with stewed apple next time and might try adding some apple to the pumpkin mix next time I make it, just a thought - 25 Oct 2014
This was so good! I used a can of pumpkin puree instead of a whole pumpkin and reduced the amount of sugar a bit. The cardamon gives it a nice "chai" flavor. I keep telling myself it's low-fat, but I'm not really sure! - 21 Mar 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This was delicious! Everyone enjoyed it, including my kids. Following the advice of the other reviews I used less sugar (only half the amount called for). I also added 1/2 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut to it to thicken it up a bit and then toasted some coconut with a little sugar to put on top. Fantastic! - 12 Oct 2005 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
