Ingredients
- 160 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 4-6 tbsp ice water
- 300 g pumpkin puree (approximately 4 heaping tablespoons)
- 200 g sweetened condensed milk
- 2 eggs
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground cardamom
For garnish:
- Pumpkin seeds (or cinnamon sticks)
Method
- Make the crust: In a bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the lemon juice and add ice water gradually until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) while the dough chills.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place the dough in the pan, trimming any excess.
- Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, salt, and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom). Whisk until smooth and well blended.
- Fill the crust: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake the pie: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool before serving. Garnish with pumpkin seeds or cinnamon sticks if desired.
Enjoy this delightful pumpkin pie as a perfect end to your meal!
