English breakfast and american dinner

What can I say, we love food. Every now and again we forget about counting calories and eating healthy. Life is too short and we don't even feel guilty. Well, at least not until morning the next day :) Luckily, I have a supply of joghurt and veggies for the next couple of days. Now, I'm going to have another bite of the dessert.

Have a good night my friends.

Pumpkin Pie

As much as I like pumpkin, I am happy it's only once a year that we eat it. Within a couple of days we ate I guess at least a few. Last week at a party we tried pumpkin muffins, pumpkin soup which we had once again last weekend and pumpkin ice cream, which I am particularly proud of. Not only did I make ice cream from scratch but I also used an unusual fruit...or is it a veggie? I have no idea. But the absolut number one was my pumpkin pie. I know this doesn't sound too modest but almost everyone was surprised with how tasty it was. Unfortunately, while peeling, chopping, blending and wiping the pumpkin puree off my ceiling, I completely forgot about taking more pictures. 

Pumpkin pie recipe

Crust:

200gr all purpose flour

2,3 egg yolks

100gr cold butter

50gr sugar

2 tbs sour cream

lemon zest

Mix all the ingredients together and toss to form dough, pressing together into a ball as quickly as you can, put it to the freezer for a while. While you prepare the filling, take out the crust and roll it out onto a baking tin. Prick the crust with a fork. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees and bake it for about 15 mins. 

Filling:

2kg pumpkin puree 

(put chopped and cleaned pumpkin into a large saucepan and add 2tsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp sugar, cook until soft)

3/4 cup powdered sugar

100 ml heavy cream

2 tbsp potatoe starch

2 eggs

1 tsp cinnamon

0,5 tsp nutmeg

1 tbsp orange of lemon zest

pinch of salt

When pumpkin cools down, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until well blended. 

Pour on top of the crust and bake for approx. 35-45 mins.
