This is comfort food for the winter, or a tasty side for guests prior to the main. Easily doubled or quadrupled, this is why the ingredients are in grams. We have literally made vats of this for freezing. For Freezing:
- We use an electric grater (Sous Chef) for all ingredients to save on the chopping.
- Exclude the milk.
- Freeze into three cup portions for two people servings.
- Freeze into larger portions for gatherings.
- Always cover the top with plastic wrap.
- Label so it doesn’t get confused with pumpkin puree. 😉
To serve, thaw, then add (at least) 1/2 cup of cream or milk. To get a smooth, creamy texture, blend with a stick blender at the beginning of heating for a full minute. Trying this while still ice cold doesn’t work at all. Serve and enjoy. I drop a few croutons on top just for fun.
