- Unsweetened pumpkin puree is essential to control the sweetness and get authentic pumpkin flavor.
- Adjust sugar quantity according to your preferred sweetness level.
- This recipe is designed for one serving but can be scaled up easily.
- Microwave heating time may vary; heat until warm but not boiling.
- If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, mix cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves as a substitute.
