Recipe of Cold pumpkin cream
Vida Recetas Editorial
Cold pumpkin cream is a refreshing and nutritious option for hot days, perfect as a starter or light dinner. This Mediterranean-inspired recipe combines the sweetness of pumpkin with the salty touch of langoustines, creating a delicious balance of flavors. It is also ideal for those looking for a simple and healthy preparation, as it uses natural, low-fat ingredients.
Why does this cream work?
Pumpkin, along with carrot and potato, provides a creamy texture without the need for heavy cream, while semi-skimmed milk binds all the ingredients together. The result is a smooth, flavorful cream served cold to enhance its freshness. Langoustines and fried bread croutons add a crunchy, umami contrast that elevates the dish.
Variations and tips
- You can substitute langoustines with shrimp or even serrano ham croutons.
- If you prefer a lighter texture, add a bit more milk or vegetable broth.
- This cream can also be served hot in winter, simply by reheating it gently.
