View all comments (6)oh and ps- i found that just scooping the needed flesh out of the pumpkin and steaming for 20 minutes then blitzing worked wonders!
this recipe is really easy, found it great to follow, and although i cheated with my pastry (shop bought pre rolled) the pie still turned out great.I substituted the liquer with coffee esscence, which gave it a really rich taste. to use up the remaining pastry i then made some mini pumpkin tarts which went down well with the kids on halloween! all in all a great recipe which i will certainly use again
You can make your own puree by cutting the pumpkin into cm pieces and cooking gently in a little butter shaking the pan occassionally til tender then blitz!..easier way is to buy a tin!!
Pumpkin puree that is best for baking comes in a tin - the most common brand is Libbey's. It's not a foodie faux-pas like most tinned ingredients, it's actually very good! It's available in Waitrose... sometimes they stock it year round, sometimes they only bring it in in the autumn. You should also be able to source it online in a pinch!
How do you make the pumpkin puree?
I have tried this pumpkin Pie before, but haven't tried it with the coffee liquer and Whisky cream. It was absolutely delicious without those two ingredients, so with the liquer and cream it would be heavenly. One wouldn't know it had the pumpkin as a filling.
