Oh Kürbiskuchen…warm…mit Sahne. So lecker. Aber leider bleibt das nur ein unerfüllter Traum hier in Deutschland. Denn Kürbispüree in der Dose sucht man in unseren Supermärkten vergebens. Höchsten eingelegten, herzhaften Kürbis im Glas findet man.

Mein Jahr in Amerika hat mich zum Profi gemacht was Kürbiskuchen angeht. Dort haben wir um die Thanksgivingzeit über 100 dieser Kuchen im Hauswirtschaftskurs gebacken, um sie zu verkaufen. Zurück in Deutschland heißt es also Kürbis selbst pürieren und den Kuchen von Grund auf selber machen. Meine Variation ist glutenfrei, ohne tierische Produkte und am wichtigsten ohne Zucker. Das bedeutet ich kann den Kuchen auch ganz alleine essen, wenn ich möchte ;-) Was gibt es besseres?

Oh pumpkin pie…warm…with cream. So good. Unfortunately this dream of mine can barley be fullfilled here in Germany. There’s no point in looking for pumpkin pureé in our supermarkets. You maybe lucky if you can find pickeld pumpkin, but that’s about it.
My year in the states made pretty much a a professional out of me. Around Thanksgiving we made more than 100 pumpkin pies for our home ec class, to sell. Back in Germany means, making your own pumpkin pureé and making this awesome pie from scratch. My variation is gluten free, free from dairy products and most important of all sugar free. Means I can eat the whole cake all by myselfe ;-) And I mean, what’s better than that?
