Traditional pumpkin pie elevated with the addition of delightful pecans for added flavor and texture.
Ingredients:
  • 165.00 ml pecans
  • 375.00 ml plain flour
  • 24.00 gm icing sugar
  • 90g cold butter, chopped
  • 3-80.00 gm iced water
  • 1 egg white
  • Cream, to serve
  • 375.00 ml mashed butternut pumpkin, cooled
  • 2 eggs
  • 180.00 gm brown sugar
  • 126.25 gm cream
  • 4.40 gm vanilla essence
  • 2.50 gm ground ginger
  • 1.25 gm ground nutmeg
Instructions:
  • In a food processor, grind the pecans. Add flour, icing sugar, and butter, then pulse until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Finally, pulse in water until dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough onto a clean work surface and shape it into a ball. Set aside one-quarter of the dough. Roll out the rest of the pastry on a sheet of baking paper to match the size of a 3-cup, 23cm pie dish. Carefully line the dish with the pastry, trimming any excess. Roll out the reserved pastry on a sheet of baking paper to a thickness of 3mm. Use small leaf cutters or a sharp knife to cut out decorative leaves from the pastry. Brush the edges of the pastry shell with egg white and gently place the leaves on top. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before using.
  • Preheat the oven to 180C (or 160C fan-forced). Set the pie dish on a baking tray. Line pastry with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the paper and weights (or rice) and bake for another 15 minutes until dry and lightly golden. Cool before using.
  • Combine all filling ingredients in a bowl to create a smooth mixture. Pour the filling into the pastry shell and bake for 45 minutes until it sets, using foil to shield the edges if needed. Allow it to cool before serving with cream.
