Pumpkin Treats

Halloween is around the corner! It means pumpking season is at its best! So, we need to celebrate it by having:

Pumpkin Cheesecake

And my fave Pumpkin Pie

When you live in the US, pumpkin pie is everywhere, and you can just buy the nice one from Costco bakery. But it's not the case if you don't live in the US. So, you just have to whip one for yourself. An easy way to whip it up for a 7" round pan is:

What you need:
Crust:
150 gr digestive biscuit - crushed
70 gr butter
Filling:
290 gr canned pumpkin puree
180 ml milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
4 tbsp brown sugar

How to:
1. In a bowl, mix digestive biscuit and butter until well mixed and spread over the pie pan. Make sure to cover both the bottom and the side and with spoon pad over to solidify the crust. Put the pan in the freezer while working on the filling.
2. Pre-heat oven to 200C
3. On a mixing bowl, beat in egg, sugar and cinnamon until light
4. Add in pumpkin puree and continue to beat until well-mixed
5. Add on milk bits by bits and keep on mixing
6. Pour in the filling into the pie crust
7. Bake at 200C for about 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 160C and continue to back for another 40 minutes

Enjoy!
