- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 cup whiskey
- 1/4 cup butter
- 13 cup cream

- Take a large pumpkin, wash, cut in half and place, cut side down, in pan in warm oven.
- Roast until soft, but not mushy.
- Scrape out the flesh of the pumpkin with a spoon or fork.
- Place into colander and let drain over night in a cool place.
- The next morning, put 2 cups of the pumpkin in a bowl and whip thoroughly with a fork until all lumps disappear, but avoid mashing.
- Drain out as much liquid as possible, because the pumpkin should be dry.
- Add the sugar, yolks of eggs, cinnamon and beat for 5 minutes.
- Quickly add the cream, the whiskey and the butter, and mix well.
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the stiffly beaten whites of eggs and add to the first mixture.
