An idea for those having issues with the pumpkin version - Cook's Illustrated came up with a cool and fast trick for getting extra moisture out of canned pumpkin. Start with four or five layers of paper towel, spread your pumpkin about half an inch thick on the paper towels, top with a few more layers of paper towel and press it all together gently. If the towels are totally soaked add another layer. You'll find that the pumpkin will not stick to the towels at all, it will peel right off and, voila, instant not so wet pumpkin.
