Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine potatoes, sugar, vanilla, coconut, spices, flour and pecans. Mix well and set aside.
  2. Cut the top of the pumpkin open and scoop out the seeds and fibre.
  3. Fill the hollowed pumpkin with the potato mixture.
  4. Mix the butter, milk, and eggs together.
  5. Sprinkle over the top of the potato mixture. Place the filled pumpkin in a large baking dish.
  6. Replace the pumpkin top and Bake at 375 F (190 C) for a minimum of forty-five minutes or until the pumpkin is cooked through.
  7. Note: Cooked squash usually becomes soft versus the dense and hard that it is raw. Poke the inside with a fork or knife. When it's easily inserted, if it isn't done already it's very close.
  8. Remove the lid and place the mini marshmallows on top (if used). Sprinkle with a bit of spices if desired.
  9. Bake until the marshmallows are melted and turning golden.
  10. Keep a close eye on it and DON'T overbake or you'll wind up with a very small little ball of marsmallow.
  11. Allow pumpkin to cool for 10 minutes before serving directly from the shell.
