Pumpkin Pie
Pumpkin puree and condensed milk. Arrowroot sets it without a single egg.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp arrowroot or cornflour
- 425g pumpkin puree
- 400g condensed milk
- 350g sweet shortcrust pastry
- Whipped cream to serve
Method
- Mix the spices, salt and arrowroot, then stir into the pumpkin puree.
- Condensed milk stirred in gradually until smooth.
- Line a deep 23cm pie dish with pastry, trim, prick the base.
- Filling poured in.
- 180°C for 40-50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the centre barely moves.
- Cool on a rack, then chill. It slices properly only when cold.
- Sweet potato puree works exactly the same way.
