Pumpkin Pie

October 12, 2012 by Louise

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I have never made or tasted Pumpkin Pie before but I have been very intrigued as it has been trending on Pinterest over the last few weeks, I guess as Americans look forward to celebrating Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Anyway, a visitor to JustEasyRecipes kindly gave me one of her recipes which I modified slightly. This pumpkin pie recipe is really easy as it uses a biscuit base as opposed to a shortcrust pastry base.  Let me tell you though that this base is absolutely delicious. Serve hot with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg. Yummy!

Description

We had to find out what all the fuss is about! This pumpkin pie is absolutely delicious served with cream and cinnamon!


Ingredients


For the Filling

  • 2 cups cooked and pureed pumpkin
  • 1 tin (380ml) Cream of Ideal Milk (you can use milk instead if need be)
  • 250ml flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 300ml brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 70ml butter, melted (this equals +-65g)
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger

For the Crust

  • +-  25 ginger biscuits, crushed
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  1. First make the crust. Combine the biscuit crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a bowl and press into a round pie dish (I used a glass rectangular dish) and make sure it is tightly packed.
  2. Pop the dish into the freezer for about 15 minutes to harden.
  3. In the meantime, make the filling. You first need to preheat your oven to 180°C . And now the easy part – combine all the ingredients together and mix in an electric blender (I used my Kitchen Aid mixer on slow at first and then on medium speed).
  4. Take the base out the freezer.
  5. Pour the filling in and bake for 60 minutes.
  6. Serve hot with cream, and a dash of cinnamon.
