I thought kabocha and sesame would go well together, so I tried making this. I only used a little sesame, but it was enough.

If you have an aluminium tray in your freezer, place your cookies on that and they will harden more quickly. The photo for step 4 shows it on a tray. You can make different versions using chopped raisins, chocolate, brandy or rum etc.
Kabocha tends to rot or turn bad quickly when there are seeds left in, so if you want to store it, it's always a good idea to remove the seeds first, heat for 3 minutes in the microwave, divide into small portions and freeze. Recipe by mini
