Jamie Oliver Pumpkin Pie Ingredients

• 500g Ready-made dessert pastry
• 1 Large Pumpkin (butternut squash), quartered
• 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp Ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 4 tbsp Maple syrup
• 6 tbsp Caster sugar
• 3 Large free-range eggs, beaten
• 200 ml Double cream

How To Make Jamie Oliver Pumpkin Pie

1. Prep the Oven and Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the pastry until it’s as thick as a coin. Line a 22cm tart tin with the pastry and bake it for 20 minutes. Then set it aside.
2. Season the Pumpkin: Place the Pumpkin quarters in a baking tray. Sprinkle them with nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Drizzle maple syrup over the top.
3. Bake the Pumpkin: Cover the tray tightly with two layers of foil and bake for 45 minutes at 400°F (200°C). After that, lower the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C).
4. Prepare the Filling: Let the pumpkin cool, then scoop out the flesh. You should have about 600g. Blend it until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, the beaten eggs, and the cream. Mix well.
5. Bake the Pie: Pour the pumpkin mixture into the cooled tart case. Bake for 45 minutes. For a crunchy touch, sprinkle the cleaned and dried pumpkin seeds with the remaining sugar and bake them alongside the pie for the last 10 minutes.

How To Store A Pumpkin Pie 

After you’ve enjoyed a slice or two of your Pumpkin Pie, you’ll want to keep it fresh for later. Store the remaining pie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. 

If you want to keep it for longer, you can also freeze it. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, and it will be good in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Do You Eat Pumpkin Pie Hot Or Cold 

You can enjoy Pumpkin Pie both hot and cold, but most people prefer it at room temperature or chilled. Eating it hot right out of the oven might make the filling too soft. So, it’s best to let it cool down a bit before slicing.

What To Serve With Pumpkin Pie

It’s best to serve Pumpkin Pie with Apple sauce, Raspberry Coulis, Strawberry Jam, and Whipped Cream.

How To Fix Soggy Pumpkin Pie

If your Pumpkin Pie turns out soggy, here are 3 quick fixes:

1. Dry Out the Filling: If the pumpkin purée is too wet, cook it in a pot to reduce moisture.
2. Rebake: Cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.
3. Change the Pan: Use a glass pie pan for better heat distribution.

Remember, a soggy pie isn’t a lost cause. You can always fix it!
