American pumpkin pie

American pumpkin pie turns out to be dizzyingly delicious if you strictly follow all the directions of the classic recipe and ... choose the right main ingredient of the filling! Why do we place such emphasis on the latter circumstance? The fact is, not all pumpkins are the same sweet. And the color of their flesh varies from yellow to rich bright orange. We often “buy” on the exterior and choose the vegetable that is more beautiful on the outside. But in fact, nutmeg pumpkin is considered ideal for dessert - an elongated shape, with a discreet sandy peel. But underneath it hides an incredibly fragrant and sweet pulp, which is a must for our American pumpkin pie! As a result, you will get something amazing and understand the people of the United States who prepare these pastries for Thanksgiving, and in general for every more or less festive occasion.

Step 2

Pour milk into the resulting oily flour crumbs to set the dough. Knead thoroughly. The American Pumpkin Pie dough is ready.

Cover the form with a diameter of 18 cm with baking paper. We spread the rolled out pie dough on the bottom, form the sides and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Cooking pumpkin pie filling. My pumpkin, peel and boil until soft (I steamed in a double boiler, but you can just in water or bake in the oven).

Step 5

We punch the boiled pumpkin with a blender until smooth or rub through a sieve. We measure out 400 g of pumpkin puree. To get 400 g of ready-made puree, you need 600-650 g of raw pumpkin)

Step 6

Remove the pumpkin mass from the heat. Stir and let cool slightly. Then add three eggs one at a time. Mix thoroughly after each.

Step 7

Slowly pour in 200 ml of heavy cream. Stir the pumpkin mass with a whisk or mixer until a homogeneous mass is obtained. The filling of the American pie is ready.

Step 8

We take out the blank with cold American pie dough. Pour the pumpkin filling on top and put it in an oven preheated to 180C for about 1 hour.

All ovens are different, I cooked the cake for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Readiness can be determined as follows. Stick the knife into the center of the pumpkin pie and remove. If the knife is dry, your pumpkin pie is ready.
