Pumpkin Pie

Currently trying out various permutations of this. Last one I found was a bit squidgy made with milk and with a thick filling - ended up cooking the crust too much. But the same filling in a shallower base was good. But then you get less filling. Perhaps the version with cream is better. Anyway have a play.

Sweet shortcrust over and blind bake a 23cm pie tin. For the filling:

500g cooked pumpkin puree
3 eggs
1.5 cups thickened cream (plus extra to serve)
185g brown sugar
Ground cloves, ginger, allspice, nutmeg and above all cinnamon

Pour into blind-baked shell, cook on 220 for 10 mins and then on 180 for an extra 30-40. Cool and serve with maple syrup and whipped cream. In case you were lacking calories.
