A quick pumpkin tray bake topped with cream cheese frosting decorated with mini pumpkins. Another tasty recipe to use up that leftover pumpkin from Halloween pumpkin carving. Make a pumpkin puree before you begin by blending 200-250 g steamed or cooked pumpkin with about 60-100 ml of water until smooth - any excess puree can be frozen.
