Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Prepare the necessary ingredients.

Step 2

Peel the pumpkin, removing the skin and seeds, and cut it into large pieces. Place it on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and put it in an oven preheated to 375°F for about an hour.

Step 3

Sift the flour, add a pinch of salt, and mix in the chilled butter with your hands until it resembles crumbs or sand.

Step 4

Then add the egg yolk and mix it in. If the dough doesn't come together, add a little cold water. Knead to form a firm dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for half an hour.

Step 5

Cool the cooked pumpkin and blend it in a blender until smooth. Transfer the pumpkin puree onto a kitchen towel or a piece of cheesecloth folded into quarters and squeeze out any excess moisture.

Step 6

Combine the pumpkin puree with the eggs, cream, sugar, cornstarch, half a teaspoon of salt, ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, and black pepper.

Step 7

Roll out the dough and place it in a greased baking dish. Prick the dough with a fork.

Step 8

Place parchment paper on top and fill with baking beans or regular dry beans. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the filling onto the pre-baked crust and return it to the oven for another 50–60 minutes.

Step 10

Then allow the finished pie to cool completely.
