Ingredients

  • Roasted Pumpkin Cubes:
  • One medium sugar pumpkin, deseeded, peeled, and cubed
  • A drizzle of fragrant olive oil
  • A pinch of sea salt
  • Sweet Bread Delight:
  • A light mist of cooking spray
  • Generous dollop of tangy sour cream
  • Splash of indulgent creme de cacao liqueur
  • Softened butter for richness
  • Sweet brown sugar for depth of flavor
  • Whisked eggs for binding
  • A hint of aromatic vanilla extract
  • Flour for structure
  • A touch of pumpkin pie spice
  • Leavening agents for a fluffy texture
  • A dash of salt for balance
  • Decadent chocolate chips for a luxurious finish

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) to start the process. In a mixing bowl, gently combine pumpkin cubes, olive oil, and a teaspoon of salt until well-coated, then spread them out on a baking sheet. Let the pumpkin roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, then crank up the heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and continue roasting until the pumpkin reaches a tender consistency, approximately another 30 minutes.

Step 2

After the pumpkin has roasted, allow the cubes to cool completely. Trim off the tough outer edges to keep only the soft, easily mashable part. Measure out 2 cups of this mashed pumpkin, setting aside any excess for future use. To proceed, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prep a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 3

In a bowl, mash together 2 cups of pumpkin, sour cream, and creme de cacao using a potato masher until the mixture is smooth with minimal lumps. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract and the pumpkin mixture with the final egg.

Step 4

Combine the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in another bowl before gently folding them into the pumpkin mixture. Integrate the chocolate chips into the batter and transfer everything into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your delectable pumpkin creation is ready to be enjoyed.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your chocolate chips in an airtight container to preserve their rich flavor and prevent any moisture from seeping in.
  2. 2. Store your pumpkin puree in a resealable bag or container in the freezer for longer-lasting freshness and convenient use.
  3. 3. To give your bread a boozy twist, consider infusing your spices in a small jar of bourbon and storing it in a cool, dark place for a few days before adding it to the batter.
