💡 Chef's tip

Add the coconut milk at the end with the machine off or the heat down to preserve its fresh flavour and prevent it from curdling.

📝 Our take

Thermomix pumpkin cream is the definitive argument for why that machine makes sense. Twenty-five minutes, one vessel, no mess on the hob, no monitoring. The ginger and coconut milk added at the end turn a simple vegetable cream into something with far more depth.

🍷 Wine & food pairing

Basque sparkling cider or a German Riesling Spätlese off-dry. The wine's sweetness complements the pumpkin and balances the ginger.

Suggested wine: Riesling Spätlese alemán o sidra espumosa vasca
