Pumpkin can be a great dessert. Everyone knows that the birthplace of puddings is England, where at first they were prepared for breakfast from what was left of yesterday's dinner, combining products with egg mass and baking in the form. Sweet dessert puddings appeared in the seventeenth century, and they began to be served not only for breakfast, but also at the end of lunch. The basis for them, and then, and now often become berries and fruits.
