I Make Good Pie

[shanmonster]

Guess what I'm making for the party tonight?

Here's the pumpkin pie recipe I developed:

ShanMonster's Pumpkin Pie of Delicious Doom

2 eggs
1/2 of a 796ml can of pumpkin purée
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 unbaked pie shell

Beat eggs in medium bowl. Add pumpkin, sugar, and spices, then stir until well combined. Blend in coconut milk. Pour filling in pie shell. Bake at 425 oven for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake 30-35 minutes or until knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool and eat!

Is there any chance I would please be able to use this in my cookbook? I am putting together a cook book as a fundraiser because we want to bring Carolena Nerrichio down here to NZ next year, so all my students are busy putting forward recipes on pain of death. Can send you a copy if you like...

Sure! And I'd love to have a copy. Good luck with the workshop. It would be great to study with Carolena.

Sweet, actually remembered to check for a reply....

Yeah, I got to go to her workshops in Katoomba just recently. The first lot booked out in an hour so all the NZers missed out, but got into the second lot that was made. It was very cool, so now, of course, I want to do more....

Whoah......using coconut milk sounds super yummy! I thought I was pushing my limits by making pies this season using real pumpkins (and butternut squash.) I'll have to try coconut milk!

It is yummy. It gives it a lighter flavour.

This sounds delish, and I am about to make it right now. You don't mention when you throw in the sugar, but I'm assuming that happens around the time that the pumpkin and spices go in? Can't wait to try it out!

Oops! Yes, that's right. The sugar goes in with the pumpkin and spices.

I used demerara sugar the last time around, and it gave the pie a much darker (but equally tasty) look.
