I use the other half of the pumpkin to make this pumpkin pie.Get the recipe from videojug and modified a bit with my own style.The taste mmm~~ not too bad.















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)

• When the pie is ready cooked,let it cool and ENJOY~~
  

Pumpkin

I love to eat pumpkin and since its hard to find any ready cooked pumpkin soup here,try to cook it by my own.By the way,pumpkin is a good source of vitamin C:)

4/Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes
5/Season the soup with salt n pepper and remove from heat.
6/Bring in the soup into a blender and blend the soup.Add in the cream at this moment and continue to blend.You'll need to do this in batches or else your blender will b overflow.
