Instructions
Cook the cauliflower in a little water in a covered pan until it is very soft.
Drain well.
Add the cauliflower, pumpkin, butter, cream, salt, and spices to a food processor.
Meanwhile add the xylitol to a heavy pan. Melt it over medium heat, stirring once in awhile until it is a liquid.
Watching it carefully, and stirring occasionally, continue to heat the xylitol until it turns golden brown.
Set aside for a minute or two to cool slightly.
Pulse the ingredients in the food processor until mushy.
Add the caramelized xylitol.
Process until smooth and creamy.
If it is too watery you can put the mixture back into the pan and cook off some of the liquid.
Put in bowl and set aside.
Topping
Melt the xylitol in a small saucepan until it is liquid.
Stir in the chopped pecans.
Stir to coat the pecans.
Add the butter and stir until well blended.
Let cool slightly.
