Healthy, because
Pumpkin supplies large amounts of beta-carotene, which gives it its orange colour. In the body it can be converted to vitamin A, which is good for the skin, eyes and vision.
Even smarter
For a vegan preparation you can use alternative products based on soy, oats or rice instead of cream.
