How to make pumpkin pie
- Preheat the oven to 190°C.
- In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin pulp, eggs, sugar, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until smooth.
- Roll out the shortcrust pastry into a cake tin of about 24 cm in diameter and pour the pumpkin filling inside.
- Bake the cake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is cooked through and the top is lightly golden.
- Allow to cool completely before serving.
- You can decorate the surface with a sprinkling of icing sugar or cinnamon.
Once baked, pumpkin pie reveals itself to be a true riot of autumnal flavours . To best enhance the flavours of the pie, it can be served warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a generous dose of whipped cream . For a decidedly more autumnal touch, it can be paired with a caramel sauce , a mascarpone cream or an apple compote.
