Cut the pumpkin into large but even pieces and arrange them in a single layer in the pot.
Sprinkle the sugar over the top and wait 20 minutes so the pumpkin releases its own juice.
Cook the pumpkin over low heat for 22 minutes, without stirring so the pieces do not fall apart.
Set the lid slightly open and thicken the syrup for 5 minutes.
Finish the dessert with almonds and serve once it reaches room temperature.
💡 Tip: Cooking the pumpkin without stirring too much preserves the shape of the slices.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Sprinkle crushed almonds on top and serve warm on a dessert plate.
