How to make a pumpkin pie?

The classic pumpkin pie recipe

Pumpkin pie in French is THE typical dessert on the Thanksgiving menu, which will be celebrated in 2023 on Thursday, November 23. Highlighting the star vegetable of the season – squash in the broad sense of the term – this dessert is a combination of a sweet pastry and a filling made from pumpkin puree, squash, or even pumpkin, and spices. . Indeed, a pumpkin pie is rich in spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and even cardamom. Obviously, you don’t have to put all these spices in your pie – or wait until Thanksgiving! – but if I had to choose just one, it would be cinnamon because it seems unthinkable to make a pumpkin pie without it! It is she who brings warmth to the tart and depth to the tastes.

Variations of pumpkin pie

As with any recipe, the pumpkin pie can be adapted. You can replace the sweet dough with a base of mixed biscuits, like a cheesecake. You can also enrich the topping with caramel sauce for a very delicious dessert. And to temper the strength of the filling, why not serve your tart with a nice homemade cream?

But let’s be honest, pumpkin pie is a rich, delicious and generous dessert, which brings families together around a convivial and sharing moment. It’s not really a question of making it lighter… It’s like making a light log at Christmas… it’s just not the spirit of the holiday. The pumpkin pie is generous, and that’s very good!
