Can you make Ek Mek with pumpkin?

[acamp7]

I had a pumpkin flavored ek mek once somewhere around American Thanksgiving. It was a Greek restaurant and they had it on special.

Any idea how this would work? I would love to experiment with it.

I know Ek Mek involves whipped cream.

I found a recipe for pumpkin whipped cream. Do you think I can sub this for the whipped cream in a typical ek mek recipe?

1 cup of heavy cream
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice
1/4 cup of pumpkin puree
1/4 cup of granulated sugar

Basically you beat the whipped cream with the vanilla and pumpkin spice until soft peaks form, then gently beat in the pumpkin puree and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. I'd make enough for whichever Ek Mek recipe I use.

I am going to guess that you can fold in pumpkin puree in either the custard or the cream? Or maybe make a pumpkin custard? I think either of those are worth a try!
