- Break the eggs into a mixing bowl, add sugar and coconut cream. Crumple the mixture with pandanus leaves until sugar is dissolved. Strain through cheesecloth, and set aside.
- Place the pumpkin in a bowl, fill with the egg mixture. Put the stuffed pumpkin in steamer with the lid on the side and steam over boiling water on medium heat for 30-45 minutes or until done. Remove from the heat. To serve : cut the pumpkin into wedges about 3" thick and serve.
