Turn the pumpkin over in the dish during the steaming process to make it easier to steam thoroughly. Before steaming the pumpkin, cover it with a layer of plastic wrap to prevent too much water from remaining in the dish and diluting the pumpkin puree. You can also take out the steamed pumpkin and directly pour out the excess water in the dish. Condensed milk is concentrated milk with sugar added. Its sweetness is much higher than fresh milk. In addition, pumpkin itself is sweet, so it is not advisable to add too much condensed milk, otherwise it will be too sweet and greasy.
