Equipment

Ingredients

  • 9 inch pie crust or store bought pie crust
  • 400g/15oz canned pumpkin puree or your own
  • 3 eggs, large
  • 125ml/1/2 cup double cream/whipping cream
  • 100g/1/2cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cloves
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 80g/1/3cup chopped toblerone or regular chocolate bar

Instructions

For the pie crust

  • Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Make 1/3 of the pie crust recipe. Roll out the pastry on a floured surface. Drape the pastry on your rolling pin and transfer to the pie/tart plate.  Make sure the edges are neat and come up to the top of the pie plate. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes.
  • Line your unbaked pie crust with parchment paper and fill the pie plate with baking beans to the top. Bake at 400F/200C for 15 minutes, then take out of the oven, turn the temperature to 350F/180C. Let it cool for 5 minutes and then lift the parchment paper together with the weights out of the pie.

For the pumpkin pie

  • While your crust is blind baking make the pumpkin filling. Beat your eggs with sugar, then add pumpkin puree, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, vanilla and salt. Set aside for a moment.
  • Now chop up the toblerone bar and melt it in a double boiler or melt it in a microwave in short 30 second bursts, stir between each time. Take 125ml/1/2cup of the pumpkin filling and stir in the melted chocolate.
    Pour the pumpkin filling in the pie crust, then drop in melted chocolate mixture randomly, take a skewer or a tooth pick and swirl it lightly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes until the filling is set. Take out of the oven and cool completely. Serve with whipped cream.
