Walnut pumpkin blondies

Versiunea in limba romana: Blondies cu dovleac si nuca

I love pumpkins so much that I decided to try so many delicious recipes. White chocolate, walnuts and pumpkin = perfect autumn dessert. These blondies are so good, that even my little kid, a chocolate hater (white or black), enjoyed every bit of it :)

1 pumpkin, around 500 g, peeled, seeded and finely chopped

300 g white chocolate, chopped + 150 g unsalted butter, chopped

250 g mascarpone cream
100 g confectioner's sugar
3 big eggs
100 g flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp walnuts, chopped
Prepare a rectangular tray (butter and roasting paper or flour). Heat the oven to 190 degrees C.
Melt the chocolate and butter over boiled water. mix well the mascarpone cream and the melted chocolate, then slowly add the sugar. Add the eggs, one by one, mixing well, then add the flour and the vanilla extract. Mix until you have the consistency of a cream. Pour half of the cream in the tray, spread the pumpkin and walnuts, then cover with the rest of the chocolate cream.

Bake for 25 minutes, let it cool in the tray, then cut. Serve cold. Keep it refrigerated. If the  cake starts to burn on the surface during baking (depending on the oven), you can put a loose alluminium foil on top of the tray.

 

Delicious!
