Hope you all had a great halloween, I sure did. I was a pirate this year, arr. This year for the first time I decided to make pumpkin pie for halloween. In fact, I made two. Here they are!
First I made the pastry, with a pretty leaf-pattern rim.
Blind bake...
And fill with pumkpin goodness! I roasted the pumpkin I had and then pureed the lot, added cream cheese, a bit of brown sugar, spices and two eggs. Voila!
It had a surprising but lovely texture (I've never made or eaten pumpkin pie before!). Sort of fluffy but substantial at the same time..
The next day I made another pumpkin pie (me and my dinner parties!) but this time I used a tin of pureed pumpkin. Basically I made it the same way, minus the 2 hours it took me to roast, cool, peel and puree the fresh pumpkin. And for a change I made a plaited rim.
And here is the result. And as for the comparison? Well, I have to say they were both equally yummy, so maybe next time I might just use the cheat method with the tinned pumpkin and save the real pumpkin for some other yummy treats!
