For the Pie Crust:
you can use a ready made short crust pastry base OR made by your own,
200g butter (softened)

1egg
380g plain flour
1 tsp vanilla essence

  • Beat butter + sugar till smooth.
  • Add in egg and beat well.
  • Lastly add in flour + vanilla and mix with hand into a dough.
  • Press dough onto your preferred pie mould and remember to prick some holes in the middle of your pie crust with fork to prevent your crust from rising.
For the Pie Filling:
850g pumpkin (chopped)
350ml cream
170g brown sugar
1tsp salt
3eggs + 1 yolk
1 tsp cinnamon,nutmeg(optional)

  • Whisk the egg with fork and add in to the brown sugar mixture
  • Next,pour in the pumpkin puree and mix a little.
