a slightly different dessert

Peel the pumpkin, cut into cubes, and cook in very little water until tender, then chill. Mix the chia seeds with the almond milk and let it sit for 3-4 hours, or overnight if necessary. Then puree all ingredients, including the chia seed and almond milk, and the pumpkin cubes, with a hand blender. Let the dessert stand for a while, then pour into bowls and garnish with the toasted walnuts.
