:help:

i remember years ago having tea out with friends at someones house, and they served up a pumpkin pie which was served with ice-cream, was wondering if anyone out there would have a recipe for something like this as all i can ever find is a savoury one. would be much appreciated as i think it would be a hit with my kids and good for them at the same time..

I don't know if this is what you are looking for it was on the Aust Womens weekly website.
I have seen a pumpkin pie recipe that is like a tart in 1 of my cookbooks but I can't find it.
I have other recipes for:
Pumpkin mousse
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Spiced Pumpkin Pie

If you want any of these let me know

Pumpkin Pie


Serving size: Serves 8
Cooking time: Less than 60 minutes



INGREDIENTS


250g packet of gingersnap biscuits
100g unsalted butter, melted
1½ cups pumpkin puree
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornflour
3 eggs, lightly beaten
300ml cream
whipped cream, to serve
maple syrup, to serve


METHOD


Preheat oven to 200°C.

Place gingersnap biscuits in the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Add butter and process until combined. Press into a 26cm collapsible base tart tin. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly cooked. Reduce heat to 160°C.

Combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Beat until well combined. Pour into prepared crust. Bake for 30 minutes or until set.

Serve sliced with whipped cream and drizzled with maple syrup.

Pumpkin puree:
½ a pumpkin (approx 750g) will yield about 550g when peeled and de-seeded. Place cubed pumpkin in a bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap, and microwave for 10 minutes.

Can't help you with receipe but thought you might like to know this useless bit of information. You can buy canned pumpkin in USA for making those pumpkin pies.

Told you it was useless information. LOL
