Pumpkin Pie with caramel waltnuts












I think of course  many of you have a lot of recipes of pumpkin is the time for you in the north(specially in USA and Canada)   but I love use pumpkin every time of the year. Anyway  I try this pumpkin pie recipe and I think was amazing and delicious and I love the dough, this recipe is adapted from Cook book Lider here in Chile.(Julio 2010)


Pumpkin Pie with caramel waltnuts

Ingredients

Dough

1 1/3 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of vegetable shortening (Crisco type)
4-5 tablespoon of ice water

Filling
2 cups of mashed pumpkin
2/3 cup of gold sugar
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1/2 teaspoon of ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg powder
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 teaspoon of grated orange peel
1 1/2 cup of double cream
3 eggs
2 tablespoon of sugar
1/2 cups of chopped waltnuts
Whipped cream to serve (optative)

Method


In a bowl mix the flour, add salt and  vegetable shortening  together by coarse crumbs.



Add ice water gradually until dough forms.


Wrap in plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Extend the dough in a pie pan and press the edges, place on top a few beans or others and place in the oven for about 8 minutes (180 ° c).

Remove the beans reduce heat and cook for about 4 minutes.


Remove and cool on a wire rack.


For the filling

In a bowl beat the pumpkin (cooked, mashed ) with sugar, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, orange zest, eggs and cream. Mix well.

Pour over the prepared dough and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes (180 ° c)


or until set good.

Remove and let cool. Carry refrigerator for  one   or two hours.


In a saucepan combine sugar and nuts to caramelize.


Cook over low heat to medium for about 5 minutes stirring all the time with a wooden spoon. And toast until lightly caramelized waltnuts.Let cool on foil.

Decorate with nuts and whipped cream if desired.



Tip:

This dough is very good you can do with different fillings, butter gives it a crunchy texture.

Put the whipped  cream   when the pie is cold, as I had to take pictures and was a little  melted a little but still was good.


Tarta de zapallo(calabaza) con nueces acarameladas
EN ESPAÑOL








Pensaba que quizas muchos de ustedes ya han visto suficiente recetas con zapallo o calabaza y es lógico es la época en el hemisferio norte estan en Otoño y se cocina mucho zapallo y camote, la verdad es que yo lo uso para diferentes recetas todo el año. En el Otoño /Invierno cuando está muy maduro lo congelo y así tengo siempre.
Bueno, en todo caso probé esta receta y me gustó mucho por eso se las comparto.
Esta receta está adaptada de libro de recetas de Líder(Chile) Julio 2010.

.Ingredientes

Masa

1 1/3 tazas de harina (sin polvos de hornear)
1/2 cucharadita de sal
1/2 taza de manteca vegetal
(o mantequilla)
4-5 cucharadas de agua helada

Relleno de la Tarta

2 tazas de puré de zapallo
2/3 taza de azúcar rubia
1/4 taza de azúcar
1 cucharadita de canela
1/2 cucharadita de jengibre en polvo
1/4 cucharadita de sal
1/4 cucharadita de nuez moscada
1 1/2 cucharaditas de ralladura de naranja
1 1/2 taza de crema  de leche
3 huevos batidos
2 cucharadas de azúcar
1/2 taza de nueces picadas
crema batida para servir (optativo)

Preparación

En un bowl  mezclar la harina, sal y agregar la manteca  con los dedos haciendo migajas gruesas.
Añadir el agua de a poco hasta formar una masa.
Envolver en film plástico y llevar al refrigerador por 30 minutos.
Cuando esté lista, extender en la mesa enharinada con un rodillo haciendo la forma del molde para tarta.
Colocar un peso sobre la masa como frijoles o porotos o arroz.
Cocinar en horno medio(180°c) durante unos 8 minutos.
Retirar las legumbres y cocinar otro rato, unos 4 minutos más.
Retirar del horno y dejar enfriar  sobre una rejilla.

Relleno

En un bol batir el zapallo ya molido, con el azúcar, canela, jengibre,sal, nuez moscada,ralladura de naranjas, crema y huevos.
Unir bien.
Verter sobre la masa preparada y cocinar a temperatura media (180°) de 40 a 45 minutos  o hasta cuajar.
Retirar y dejar enfriar.
Dejar en  el refrigerador por lo menos una o dos horas para se asiente bien.
Para las nueces, colocarlas en un sartén con el azúcar.
Cocinar a fuego medio bajo hasta que se doren, revolviendo siempre.
Hacer esto durante unos 5 minutos. Verterlas en un papel aluminio para que se enfrien.
Decorar con estas nueces el Pie de zapallo y con un poco de crema batida.
Guardar en el refrigerador.

Tips:

La masa es estupenda, se puede hacer con otros rellenos o en moldecitos de tarta pequeños.
Esperar que el pie este frio para decorar con la crema batida, yo no pude porque tuve que tomar fotos y estaba un poco caliente.

  28. I have always been intrigued by pumpkin pies, they aren't popular here in Australia. Pumpkin is mainly a savory dish here. When I was in the US last I tried pumpkin pie and pumpkin bars and pumpkin woopies - I loved the lot!

  36. Que rico! Gloria, me quedé pensando en que acá hay tanto zapallo, pero es mas común usarlo en preparaciones saladas. Zapallo en postres, en picarones y las infaltables sopaipillas pasadas (aclarando que a lo largo de chile tambien hay muchas sopaipllas pero sin zapallo.
