Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1 Large Butternut Squash (Pumpkin), quartered
- 3 Large free-range eggs, beaten
- 500 grams (17.6 ounces) Ready-made dessert pastry
- 200 milliliters (6.8 fluid ounces) Double cream
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 6 tablespoons Caster sugar
- 4 tablespoons Maple syrup
Spices:
- ¼ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon Ground ginger
Instructions
- Meticulously prepare the oven by heating it to 400°F (200°C). Delicately roll the pastry until it reaches a coin-like thickness, then carefully drape it into a 22-centimeter tart tin. Blind bake the pastry for 20 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside to cool completely.
- Arrange pumpkin quarters on a baking tray, generously dusting them with warm spices including ground nutmeg, ginger, and cinnamon. Elegantly drizzle pure maple syrup over the pumpkin pieces to enhance their natural sweetness.
- Securely wrap the baking tray with two layers of aluminum foil, creating a sealed environment. Roast the spiced pumpkin at 400°F (200°C) for 45 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to a gentle 350°F (180°C).
- Allow the roasted pumpkin to cool slightly, then carefully extract the tender flesh. Aim for approximately 600 grams of puréed pumpkin. Incorporate 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, whisk in beaten eggs, and blend smoothly with heavy cream until achieving a silky consistency.
- Transfer the luxurious pumpkin mixture into the pre-baked pastry shell. Bake for 45 minutes until the filling sets with a gentle wobble. For an artisanal finishing touch, toss cleaned pumpkin seeds with remaining sugar and toast them during the final 10 minutes of baking for a delightful crunchy garnish.
