Vegetable processing

Cooking basics
To make pumpkin pie in a slow cooker, you should mix the vegetable base well. To do this, add sugar, vanillin, baking powder to the previously prepared mass, break the chicken eggs, pour
refined oil and thick kefir. It is also necessary to add wheat flour to the base. As a result, you should get a fairly liquid dough of orange color with visible inclusions of the vegetable.
Forming and baking a dessert
Pumpkin pie in a slow cooker should be baked in the appropriate program (“Baking”) for 60 minutes. But before you turn on this mode, you need to grease the bowl of the device with oil, and then pour in all the previously prepared dough. After the kitchen appliance completes its program, it is recommended to keep the dessert on heating for another 10 minutes, and then remove it with a spatula.
Cooking Sour Cream
To make the pumpkin
pie on kefir not only tasty, but also beautiful, it is advisable to decorate it with a specially prepared filling. To do this, take thick sour cream and beat it strongly with a blender, along with powdered sugar. Next, the cream must be evenly applied to the surface of the pie, but only after it has completely cooled down. If you neglect this advice, then the decoration in the form of a fill will simply “float”, and the cake will turn out not as beautiful as we would like.

Pumpkin pie baked in a slow cooker should be served chilled. Before this, it is recommended to cut it into triangular portioned pieces and arrange it in saucers. It is worth noting that such a sweet product will be especially tasty if consumed with hot tea, cocoa or a coffee drink with milk.
