## Tips

- Use regular pumpkin, not organic (organic pumpkin has a stronger pumpkin taste).
- Sweet potato puree is the best alternative
- Replace monkfruit with any granulated sweetener.
- Use dark cocoa powder for best flavor. (Dark cocoa also hides the pumpkin better).
- Use a high quality protein that mixes well
- Do not overbake or they will lose fudginess! take them out right when toothpick comes out clean.
- Put them in the fridge! The texture and flavor is even better chilled.
