Pumpkin pie

Whats your best recipe!

I saw this one today on TV4:
WHAT YOU NEED:

BASE:
- 50g Butter (melted)
- A packet of digestive biscuits

PIE MIX:
- 1 butternut pumpkin (roughly 500g)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
- Greek yoghurt to serve
- Snap lock bag

WHAT TO DO:

- Pumpkins aren’t easy to cut, so grab an oldie, and you’ll need a large serrated knife. Cut off the stem, and slowly cut it in half with a sawing motion.
- Then grab a spoon and scoop out all the seeds and stringy stuff.
- Chop up the remaining pumpkin into small chunks and then pop it in a microwave safe bowl.
- Chuck that in the microwave for about 15min or until soft.

While that’s underway, you can get on to making a pie crust/base.

- Put the digestive biscuits in a re-sealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin!
- Then chuck them in a bowl and add your 50g melted butter and combine!
- Then press the mixture in to your lined oven dish – you can use a glass to help you mould it nicely to the sides by pressing it to the sides of the dish.
- Grab your pumpkin out of the microwave – it will be soft now so you can peel it.
- Once your pumpkin is peeled and soft, it’s time to make a filling.

In a blender, combine:
- Soft pumpkin cubes
- 1 cup (250ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (110g) sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger until smooth
- Put your mixture in a bowl and add 2 eggs and stir.
- Pour that mixture into your base and pop in the oven at 190 degrees for about 45 mins!

Thans. That looks easy and not too expensive. Sounds yum.

Please post and let me know how you get on.
It looked good on tv so will get around to trying this out at some stage.
