Some people wanted Trina's Pumpkin Pie recipe, so here is - only the best 'pumpkin pie' recipe!
Start with a biscuit base (recipe uses a pastry base but I don’t think as nice, but up to you) (Pastry one does require cooking first though)
Biscuit Base:
Packet of biscuits
50-100g butter (melted)
Mix together and press into a tin
Filling:
1 cup mashed pumpkin
1 cup heavy or whipping cream (I can only find double cream here but that will do)
3 large eggs
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ cup brandy
Whipped cream
1. Preheat oven to 400’F
2. Measure the pumpkin into a roomy bowl. Add the heavy cream or evaporated milk (I use the cream) and the eggs, and beat thoroughly with a whisk.
3. Combine the sugar with the spices. Toss then together well, and then beat them into the pumpkin mixture. Add the brandy, and mix thoroughly.
4. Put filling on the base
5. Place the pie on the lower shelf of the oven and bake 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350’F and continue to bake until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, another 35-40min.
6. Serve warm or cold with whipped cream
I find the times are off, I think it doesn’t cook as quick from the bottom because I use the biscuit base.
But you get the general idea, I def don’t eat till next day or day after, keep in fridge and have cold!
I am a bit of a lover of fine pumpkin pie, so would definitely recommend trying my way first, but up to you!
Enjoy
