Value Added & Serving Ideas
To "Umamify": Add 1 tsp. RC Umami Sensations® Kokumi Powder when adding the pumpkin and spices to amplify natural dairy richness and round out warmth from the spices.
Plating Accompaniment: Drizzle or serve paired with RC Raspberry Coulis Dessert Sauce Mix prepared using 100% cranberry juice in place of water for a bright, tart autumn contrast.
