Recipe: Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie, Amerikaanse pompoentaart met een krokante bodem.

It is the season of the pumpkin. At this time of year, the yellow-orange fruit is impossible to miss! How about a delicious sweet Pumpkin Pie for a cozy evening or a holiday, such as Thanksgiving? In this blog, you will learn how to make a delicious pumpkin pie yourself!  

First, we will make the crust, and while it is in the oven, we will get started on the filling. A tip: use a high baking pan so that you have a little more room. 

Ingredients

Ingredients for the crust: 

  • 80 grams granulated sugar
  • 160 grams unsalted butter
  • 225 grams flour
  • 1/2 egg
  • Pinch of salt

Preparing the crust:

  • Put the ingredients in a bowl and knead until it has a firm texture. 
  • Then wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for at least one hour. 
  • Prepare a work surface by sprinkling some flour over it. 
  • Take the mixture out of the refrigerator and roll it out on the work surface.
  • Make sure the thickness is about 5 mm and then place it in the pie dish. 
  • You can give the dough a little more room. This is because it can shrink a bit more in the heat of the oven, making the pie slightly less tall. 
  • Place a piece of baking paper in the baking pan and spread a blind baking weight over this baking paper. 
  • You can now put the pie crust in the oven and pre-bake it for 20 minutes at 180 degrees. 
  • After 20 minutes, you can take the crust out of the oven and remove the baking paper with the baking weight. 
  • Now bake the pie for another 10 minutes without the blind baking weight. While the crust is in the oven, you can already start with the filling of the pie.  

Ingredients for the filling:

You can also make the pumpkin spice mix yourself with our recipe!

Preparing the filling:

  • Put all the ingredients in a bowl and use a whisk to mix them together well. 
  • When the pie crust is ready, you can pour the filling directly onto the warm crust. The filling may be filled just below the rim of the baking pan. 
  • Bake the pie for about 45 minutes at 160 degrees in the oven. 
  • After about 45 minutes, check if the pie is ready. The center of the pie may still wobble a little when you shake the baking pan back and forth. The pie does not need to be completely firm. 
  • Take the pie out of the oven and let it cool completely. You can optionally put the pie in the refrigerator for a few hours. 
  • When the pie has cooled sufficiently, you can serve it.
  • You can store the Pumpkin Pie in the refrigerator for three to four days. 

We wish you a lot of fun baking and, of course, eating your delicious Pumpkin Pie!

Extra tip: use the leftover pumpkin puree to make a delicious Pumpkin Spice Latte.
