What dish says "autumn" more than pumpkin pie?

Pumpkin is the true symbol of autumn. Its warm colours and rich flavour perfectly capture the essence of the season, making pumpkin pie the ideal autumn dessert.

For the pie, you’ll need pumpkin purée, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, salt, evaporated milk, eggs, and pastry for the crust.

Steps:

In a bowl, mix the eggs and pumpkin purée thoroughly until smooth.

• In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, and cloves.

• Add the spices to the pumpkin and eggs, and mix well.

• Stir in the evaporated milk.

• Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.

• Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes.

• Serve with a caramel and pecan topping if desired.
