Recipe: Pumpkin pie

As The Great British Bake Off celebrates pastry in each series, we have decided to share a pumpkin pie recipe with you all.

Pies and pastries in any form in fact, offer a particular comforting feeling, especially when autumn/winter season kicks in just like the tasty pumpkin spice lattes.

For our seasonal bake, we've looked at Rachel's Organic Yoghurt recipe as a perfect treat to eat hot or cold.

Ingredients for this pumpkin pie

320g ready to roll shortcrust pastry

425g canned pumpkin

140g caster sugar

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

2 eggs, beaten

25g butter, melted

100g Rachel's Greek Style Low Fat Yogurt

Topping:

200g Rachel's Greek style Apple & Cinnamon Yogurt

A sprinkle of ground cinnamon

Method: Pumpkin pie

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.

2. Roll out the pastry on to a floured surface, and line a 22cm fluted loose bottom tart tin with the pastry. Once lined with pastry, place in the fridge for 10 minutes to relax (this will stop the pastry from shrinking).

3. Remove the pastry case from the fridge and line with a sheet of parchment paper and baking beans. Bake the pastry for 15-20 minutes, then remove the paper and beans and cook for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.

4. In a bowl combine the pumpkin puree, caster sugar and spices, then beat in the eggs, melted butter and yogurt.

5. Pour the mixture in to the tart shell and cook for 35-40 minutes until the filling has just set and has a slight wobble.

6. Leave to cool then remove the pie from the tin.

7. To serve top with swirls of apple & cinnamon yogurt and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.
