Ingredients for the decoration:

Method:

  1. Slice up the pumpkin and bake it on 200°C for at least 60 minutes, or until you can easily stab it with a fork. Let the pumpkin cool down a bit, then puree it with a hand-held mixer or a food processor.
  2. Preheat the oven at 175°C and prepare the muffin tins.
  3. In a big bowl mix together the flour, the sugar, the baking soda, the cinnamon and the salt. Add in the pumpkin puree, the apple sauce, the vanilla extract and the plant-based milk.
  4. Fill up the muffin tins and bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes. You can check with a toothpick, whether they are ready or not.
  5. When the muffins have cooled down, prepare the frosting. Mix together the water and the powdered sugar, and set aside 2 tbsp of frosting.
  6. Color the rest using Yes Superfood’s Activated Charcoal powder.
  7. Decorate the muffins first with a layer of black frosting, then paint spider webs using the white frosting.

    FAQs

    No. Yes Superfood Curcumin Powder has a mild, subtly sweet flavour profile. At the quantity used in this recipe, it contributes primarily a warm golden colour rather than a pronounced turmeric flavour.

    At the quantity used in this recipe, the light, sweet flavour of the meringue remains dominant. The blue spirulina is used mainly for its striking blue colour.

    Cooking the meringue as an even layer in the microwave makes it easy to cut into neat cubes once chilled. The cubes remain soft and pillowy rather than crisp, creating a modern presentation that is particularly striking when the dessert is served in individual glasses.

    The vanilla custard can be prepared one day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator. The meringue cubes are best prepared on the day of serving. Keep the two components separate and assemble the dessert only immediately before serving.
