Ingredients

• 2 cups Pumpkin puree
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Low sodium chicken broth

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, and low sodium chicken broth. Stir to blend the ingredients smoothly.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat, cooking the mixture while occasionally stirring, for about 5 minutes or until the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 3

Add maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground ginger, ground cloves, and black pepper into the saucepan. Stir thoroughly to incorporate all the spices into the pumpkin cream.

Step 4

Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, for another 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld together.

Step 5

Once done, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the pumpkin cream cool for a few minutes.

Step 6

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the mixture in the saucepan until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a countertop blender in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Serve the low sodium pumpkin cream warm, topped with a dusting of additional cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
