Pumpkin pie is a traditional dish for many families, especially in the autumn-winter season. This dish looks especially attractive with whipped cream and other aromatic toppings.
Pumpkin pie : recipe and ingredients
- 1 pack of any ready-made dough (you can cook homemade according to your favorite recipe);
- 2 cups mashed boiled pumpkin;
- 1 1/2 cups condensed milk;
- 1/4 cup brown sugar;
- 1/2 cup white sugar;
- 1/2 teaspoon of tea salt;
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon;
- 1/2 teaspoon tea ginger;
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg;
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice;
- 2 eggs.
Cooking dough
First, preheat the oven to a tempera of about 200 degrees. Then start cooking the pumpkin pie directly. The recipe will be as follows - mix mashed potatoes with eggs and condensed milk in a large bowl. Add brown sugar. Once all the ingredients are mixed well, take another bowl and add white sugar, spices and salt and grind everything until a homogeneous mixture. Then combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until smooth, even. Pour the mixture into a blender and beat for several minutes at medium speed.
This is significant when you make pumpkin pie. The recipe for this dish has some features, one of which is the uniformity of all ingredients. You must make sure that all components are thoroughly ground, as the finished dish should have a smooth texture.
Baking
After this, pour the mixture onto the dough, evenly distributing it over the top. Bake the cake at 200 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce it to 180 degrees and bake another 45 minutes. The time it takes to bake the product until cooked will depend on how evenly your oven heats up. It is recommended to check the degree of product readiness at 30 minutes - sometimes this time is also sufficient. If you are making pumpkin pie in a slow cooker, you must follow the instructions for it and take into account the specifics of baking this way.
It is advisable to cool the finished cake before serving, especially if you want to offer it as a dessert. As already mentioned above, this dish is ideally combined with whipped cream.
Cooking cream
So, we finish cooking a pumpkin pie. The cream recipe is presented below.
Mix 2 cups of heavy cream with powdered sugar and add a little rum (honey, bourbon or 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla tea extract). Pour the mixture from a large bowl and beat with a mixer at high speeds. As soon as the mixture begins to thicken, taste it and adjust the amount of flavoring and powdered sugar. As a rule, the latter is required in an amount of about two tablespoons. The cake filler is ready as soon as the mixture becomes thick, but not very dense.
Put the cream on a chilled cake and serve. In addition, you can always show imagination and change the ingredients used to your taste. For example, you can reduce the amount of sugar and make unsweetened pie with pumpkin and cheese, or add an apple to the pumpkin puree, and so on.
