Équipements

  • 20 cm pie mould (ideally with removable bottom)

Ingredients

Speculoos pie crust

  • 240 g speculoos cookies
  • 100 g butter

Pumpkin filling

  • 400 g plain pumpkin purée
  • 300 mL sweet condensed milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Whipped cream

  • 250 mL whipping cream 35%
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180℃ (350℉).

Speculoos pie crust

  • Thinly crush the speculoos cookies.
  • Melt the butter.
  • Mix the melted butter with the speculoos crumbs.
  • Pour the mixture into the bottom of the pie pan.
  • Press the mixture down firmly (using a spoon or the underside of a glass, for example) to form the crust.

Pumpkin filling

  • Mix the cornstarch and spices in a bowl.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (pumpkin purée, eggs and condensed milk) and whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the mixture over the speculoos crust.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Allow to cool.

Whipped cream

  • Place a bowl in the freezer for about 10 minutes (optional, but this will help the whipped cream set faster).
  • Pour the cream and sugar into the cold bowl.
  • Whip until stiff.
  • Set aside in the fridge.
  • When the pie is cooled, spread the whipped cream over the top (you can poach it for a more aesthetic look).
