Recipe to prepare Pumpkin Pie with Spices 2017/11/03

November, month of the pumpkin!

This time of year, we have the great opportunity of taking advantage of the many varieties of pumpkins. In the country where we live, shortly, will be the X Festival of the pumpkin and we hope to participate with a pumpkin pie with spices

Remembering that in the United States pumpkin pie is a classic of Thanksgiving Day, I asked for the recipe from a cousin who precisely lives there. The preparation is simple to make and the result is a velvety filling pie and very scented. It can be sliced or served in a pumpkin themed party or served as supper accompanied by a glass of milk

Ingredients:

-250 grams of pie crust from your favorite recipe or refrigerated pie crust

- One small pumpkin (about 750 grams)

-2 eggs

- one can of evaporated milk or 180 grams of fresh cream

- 80 grams of cane sugar

- One teaspoon of cinnamon

- One teaspoon of nutmeg

- One teaspoon of ground ginger

- A pinch of salt

- enough butter

Procedure:

Cut the pumpkin in 3 pieces and remove the seeds. Prick the pulp with a fork and bake at 180 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes scent with a clove (Syzygium aromaticum) in each piece, if you still wish to get a more intense flavor, add half a teaspoon of ground clove to the spices.

Once it’s soft, take the pulp and press with a fork to turn it into purée

In a bowl, add the eggs and beat slightly with a beater, add the sugar and mix. Add the cream, spices and salt, incorporate to make a homogeneous mixture with no lumps. Then add the pulp and mix well. If you wish to thicken the mixture, transfer to a casserole and cook it for 8-10 minutes at medium heat

Prepare a pie mold (24 cm), spread a little bit of butter on the bottom and the walls, spread the dough and prick with a fork

Pour the mixture leveling with a spatula

Bake at 180°C for 35 minutes, insert a toothpick in the center of the pie: if it comes out clean, the pie is ready!

Let it cool for an hour before serving. You can accompany it with a ball of whipped cream
